MHSAA football playoffs: Dearborn Fordson avenges Belleville losses
On a critical drive before halftime of Dearborn Fordson's MHSAA football Division 1 district semifinal rematch against Belleville, all of the Tractors' coaches got involved in the play-calling. With the score tied at 14 just before halftime on Friday, Oct. 30, Fordson got the ball back in their own territory. It started with coach Osama Abulhassan calling a screen to star running back Dean Hammoud (a Wayne State commit), who picked up a first down. Then quarterbacks coach Ali Baidoun called for a target to receiver T.J. Reaves (Youngstown State), putting the Tractors in Belleville territory. Offensive line coach Ed Carducci then channeled his inner Ben Johnson, calling for a hook-and-lateral. Quarterback Hussein Fakih hit Reaves (who had more than 90 yards receiving, plus a TD and seven tackles) on a short hitch; Reaves stopped and flipped the ball to junior Amer Daher, running a drag route below him. Daher then took off for a crucial touchdown with 16 seconds left in the half. GET READY FOR ROUND 2: MHSAA football playoffs 2026 bracket, second-round games revealed "They picked a good time to run it the best we have ever run it," Abulhassan said the next day. "Tip of the

New Hazel Park school superintendent was paid $230K to leave Taylor
When the Hazel Park School Board appointed an interim superintendent this summer and declined to provide any information about him, parent Jennifer Jackson watched in disbelief and then took the only recourse she could think of. She filed a public records request. A Google search revealed he was the former superintendent of Taylor Public Schools, so Jackson started there, filing a Freedom of Information Act request for any records about his performance and departure. What she got back, she quickly shared with the Hazel Park board in an Aug. 17 committee meeting during the public comment period. Standing at the podium, both hands clutched around her phone, Jackson revealed Hazel Park's new leader, Griff Mills, had left his position in Taylor early due at least in part to an evaluation that found him "minimally effective." He signed a voluntary separation agreement worth about $230,000 with the board to leave. On Oct. 26, in a 4-3 vote, the board made Mills its permanent superintendent without addressing his past at the Downriver area district, without any public vetting and without a search process. "Still to this day, even if he has been here two months, we know nothing about him," board member
