Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going

LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry. They’re inseparable off the field, and junior quarterback Brody Gross makes sure nobody gets left out. He buys doughnuts for the linemen in the morning. After wins,

Out-of-state students voted in Michigan. They shouldn't have. | Brady

Sophie Boyle is an out-of-state student. She moved from Westchester, New York, to Ann Arbor over the summer to begin her freshman year at the University of Michigan — just in time for her first election. She cast her ballot for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. “They made it really easy here. I could switch my registration and vote all in one kind of process,” she said. “New York tends to lean left ... and Michigan is a very competitive, very crucial swing state. I knew that, in terms of where my vote would count more, Michigan was a more substantial place to vote.” Thousands of out-of-state students shared Boyle’s thought process, and most of them supported Democrats. It’s no surprise El-Sayed won Washtenaw County — which includes the University of Michigan — by a 50-point margin. To be clear, El-Sayed and others in his party would have triumphed last week even without the out-of-state vote, especially in overwhelmingly blue college towns like Ann Arbor and East Lansing. But this election was an anomaly. In normal times, without a historically unpopular president like Donald Trump in the White House, out-of-staters really can make a difference. That’s a problem. Elections have serious consequences.

Banta returns as Detroit Catholic Central football wins regional title

CLARKSTON — Duke Banta led Detroit Catholic Central out of the locker room. Then the senior quarterback led the defending state champions to their third straight Division 1 regional title. Banta returned from a broken collarbone suffered in a Week 6 win over Toledo Central Catholic. He completed eight passes for 66 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 21-7 win Friday, Nov. 13, at Clarkston. Catholic Central (11-1) advances to the Nov. 21 state semifinal against East Kentwood or Portage Central at a neutral site yet to be announced. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Banta looked rusty in his first game back, but that was understandable. He was also without Texas Tech commit and four-star senior Gideon Gash, who was ruled out with an injury in a game-time decision.

The Detroit school district saw an increase in parent complaints about issues with their children’s schools and conflicts with staff in recent years. In response, the Detroit Public Schools Community District created a new office last year designed to handle those issues through restorative practices, which includes coaching through conflicts and checking in on parents’ well-being. The Family, Advocacy, Intervention, and Restoration, or FAIR, office uses parent coaches and DPSCD staff to help resolve issues in all of the district’s schools. Their work is also intended to boost enrollment and keep students in the district. The office handles issues ranging from facilitating restorative meetings between parents and school staff, as well as helping families navigate the student discipline process. The office was also formed to help parents properly escalate complaints through the central office, Superintendent Nikoali Vitti told Chalkbeat in an email. “School leaders also desired for more support to work with parents who are still learning effective ways to communicate their legitimate frustrations
