Airport High puts artistic spin on Michigan snowplow safety

Airport High School students are putting their artistic skills to work on a Michigan snowplow while helping spread a message about safer winter driving. The Carleton school is among five Michigan schools participating in the Michigan Department of Transportation's annual Paint the Plow project, according to a community announcement. Airport High represents MDOT's University Region in the program. Students painted a snowplow blade as part of this year's "See snow? Go slow!" theme, which encourages motorists to slow down in winter conditions, stay alert and give snowplows enough room to operate safely. The finished snowplow blades will be put to work along Michigan state trunklines this winter, giving students' artwork a public display while the plows clear snow and ice. Paint the Plow combines art and winter safety MDOT's Paint the Plow program invites students to create artwork on snowplow blades built around safe-driving messages. The program also seeks to raise awareness of the snowplow operators who maintain Michigan roads during winter weather. Airport High is one of five schools participating this season. The others are Heritage High School and Cass City Jr./Sr. High School in MDOT's Bay Region, Belding Middle School in the Grand Region and Coloma High School

Eastern Michigan University IT staff offers advice for better on-campus connection

Some students and faculty at Eastern Michigan University describe an ongoing love-hate relationship with campus Wi-Fi. “The Wi-Fi is generally good, but there are some days where it doesn’t seem to work right for us. The fact that you don’t know when you start your day if you’re going to have connection issues or not is what's frustrating,” Bill Heinze, director of forensics, told The Eastern Echo.

Northville football looks to keep its surprise run going in regional final

Northville knew it needed to keep unbeaten Saline’s high-powered offense off the field if it was going to win Friday, Nov. 6. Northville (8-2) did exactly that, grinding out two lengthy touchdown drives and controlling the line of scrimmage in a 17-14 victory to win the Division 1 district championship. Saline (10-1) entered averaging 46.1 points per game, the 10th-best average in Michigan. But Northville limited Saline to just 29 offensive plays. Danny O’Neil punched in the go-ahead TD from the 1-yard line in the third quarter, helping Northville advance to next week’s regional against Detroit Cass Tech (11-0). It’s Northville’s third district championship in program history and second in four seasons. Its first came in 2000. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter “We wanted to control the line of scrimmage, attack the C gap and run downhill to see if they wanted to play a 15-round fight with us, and I don’t think they wanted to,” Northville coach Brent Luplow said. “We were really able to be more physical than them.” Saline quarterback Case Campbell threw a 13-yard TD pass to Gabe Iadipaolo in the first quarter, but Northville responded with a 13-play, 75-yard drive

Livonia Franklin football uses its blue-collar mindset to keep rolling in playoffs

Livonia Franklin football coach Chris Kelbert said this is the quirkiest, goofiest bunch of players he’s ever coached in his 26 years leading the program. But that doesn’t mean they’ve strayed from the blue-collar, lunch-pail mentality Kelbert’s teams have always had. If anything, having that kind of personality makes Franklin even tougher to beat. These players are going to prepare hard, play physical football and battle you for four quarters. They’re just going to have a little fun doing it, too. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter That was the case in Franklin’s 17-6 upset win Friday, Nov. 6, at unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson. Carlson (10-1) played tough defense in the first half, but Franklin finally broke through after halftime to win its first Division 2 district championship since 2022. The victory sends Franklin to next week’s regional at Grosse Pointe South (10-1). Jake Kotrych broke the game open with a 12-yard TD run in the third quarter. After Carlson responded, Zyaire Lanier punched in a TD from the goal line to give Franklin the lead for good.
