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,

Brighton considers altering setback rules for new chicken ordinance

Brighton councilmembers are split over whether to make changes to the municipality's chicken ordinance, just nine months after approving it. Brighton City Council approved an ordinance allowing residents to keep up to six chickens for personal use with a permit in February. Commercial uses, such as selling eggs, remain prohibited. Councilmember Susan Gardner wants officials to consider reducing the required setback from ten feet to five. She said accessory structures should have a common five-foot setback, so chicken coops can later be repurposed. "In the beginning, we do compare surrounding areas," Gardner said during a meeting Nov. 10. "We consider what has worked (well) in other communities — but then when you apply it to your own community, it gives an opportunity to get some feedback or maybe have a little bit of reflection on what’s working or maybe what could be changed.” Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Bohn opposed changing the ordinance, arguing the discussion was only coming up because one resident “created his own hardship” by putting up a chicken coop before chickens were permitted. Gardner said the discussion wasn't intended to appease anyone but to consider what's best for the community. She noted councilmembers have revisited and changed other
