Michigan DNR tackles invasive crayfish

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is investigating an infestation of invasive red swamp crayfish found in Cass County. While colder temperatures are slowing them down, state wildlife officials said the threat is not going away. Native to the southern United States, the crayfish become more active as temperatures rise. The DNR plans to assess the extent of the infestation next spring, when warmer weather makes the crayfish easier to detect. Kathleen Quebedeaux, fisheries biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, said the state will have people in the field to learn more as they work toward next steps. "In the spring, we would like to go out and talk with nearby landowners to the found invaded sites, determine how widespread that invasion is in that site in Cass County, and that will kind of determine our options," Quebedeaux said. In September, two dead specimens were found in a private pond near Niles, marking the county's first confirmed detection. Red swamp crayfish have been prohibited in Michigan since 2014, and populations were first detected in the state in 2017. Residents can report suspected sightings and learn more at Michigan.gov/invasives . Invasive red swamp crayfish can damage aquatic vegetation, compete

Notre Dame among a few teams named semifinalist for top OL award

The gas that drives Notre Dame’s offense is its offensive line , as the big guys up front make everything possible. From left to right on the Irish starting line is Will Black, Anthonie Knapp, Ashton Craig, Sullivan Absher and Guerby Lambert.

The group has performed at a high level this fall, and it was enough for them to be named as semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award . It’s an honor given out annually to the top offensive line in the country, but hasn’t been around for long. Starting in 2015, Notre Dame was recipients in 2017, and have been in consideration multiple other seasons.

Ex-ND coach accepts 3rd straight NL Manager of Year Award: ‘Grateful’

Former Notre Dame baseball coach and current Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was in a peculiar spot on Tuesday. Murphy was in the hospital resting after he had hip replacement surgery. The World Series champion coach, however, still appeared on MLB Network and accepted his third consecutive National League Manager of the Year award despite being in an unusual place. “I’m very grateful,” Murphy said. Murphy is coming off the best season in Brewers history. Milwaukee went 103-59, captured its first NL pennant in 44 years and secured the franchise’s first-ever World Series title. The longtime coach was at the helm of Notre Dame’s program from 1988 to 1994. Murphy guided the Irish to a combined 318-116-1 record and NCAA regional final bids in 1992 through 1994. In the seven seasons he coached at Notre Dame, Murphy led the team to 20-plus wins in four of the campaigns while the program competed in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (present-day Horizon League). ☘️☘️☘️ https://t.co/tkvLQSjpzL — Notre Dame Baseball (@NDBaseball) November 11, 2026 Contact/Follow us @IrishWireND on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes and opinions.
