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

Monroe County Region high school sports roundup for Saturday, Oct. 31

OTTAWA LAKE — Brek Ruddy set a Whiteford school record for career rushing yards Saturday. But yards he didn’t take impressed Bobcat football coach Todd Thieken almost as much as the record. Whiteford was nursing a 6-point lead with just over a minute remaining when he broke loose on a third-and-7 play in a Division 7 playoff game against Bronson. Ruddy probably could have run into the end zone, but instead dropped to his knee after getting a first down. More: Monroe County Region football roundup for opening round of playoffs Ruddy knew the clock was more important than the scoreboard. With Bronson out of timeouts, Ruddy knew the first down would allow his team to go into victory formation and run out the clock to secure a 22-16 victory. “That tells you what a tremendous kid he is,” Thieken said of the kneel down. “He could have scored a touchdown, but he puts so much into the team.” Ruddy eclipsed the school record set of 3,794 yards set by Logan Murphy. “I am so happy for him,” Thieken said. “He’s our guy and everyone knows it, but he just keeps going.” As usual, Ruddy carried most of the workload

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
