Howell wins final KLAA football title behind Jack Gondick’s 234 yards
HOWELL — Howell’s lone loss during the 2025 regular season came against Northville. Had that 17-7 letdown not happened, Howell might not have been celebrating a 9-0 regular season and its third straight league title in the final Kensington Lakes Activities Association championship game Friday, Oct. 23. And there’s an even greater chance junior fullback Jack Gondick wouldn’t have been mobbed by teammates after rushing for 234 yards and earning game MVP honors in a 35-22 payback victory over Northville. Because, really, Gondick’s story starts after that Week 3 loss last season. He watched from the sidelines, practically fuming that he couldn’t get on the field enough to help his teammates pull off a comeback against Northville. He just knew he could make a difference if he played more. So the following Monday, he approached Howell coach Brian Lewis at practice and pleaded his case for more playing time. More: Subscribe to our high school football newsletter “He said he was willing to do whatever it takes to win the job,” Lewis said. Lewis didn’t hesitate to give Gondick a chance to prove himself. He threw him into Howell’s signature drill, “win the line.” Essentially, it’s a one-on-one battle in

Q&A: Wayne State president looks to put school's strengths 'on steroids'
Richard Bierschbach has led Wayne State University since February , or since last September, counting his stint as the interim president before he was elevated to the permanent role. In the meantime, he's been navigating the changing world of higher education — from national cuts on research funding and restrictions on international students to a years-long decline in birth rates leading to a decrease in the number of traditional college-age students. Bierschbach, 54, took the role after serving as the dean of the Wayne State University Law School. He was appointed interim president a few hours after former President Kimberly Andrews Espy publicly resigned on Sept. 17, 2025. After five months, the university's Board of Governors voted to elevate him to the permanent role, making him the first president promoted from within the university in more than a half-century. Eight months after becoming president, Bierschbach has a better idea of what he wants to do in a role he didn't see himself in a little over a year ago. Bierschbach recently sat down with The Detroit News to talk about his approach to higher education, why Detroit is so important to the university and his plans for Wayne State's future.
