Welcome, sports fans!

Hola, kids and older people with kid souls!

Welcome to our blog. You'll see names like mine, as well as Dave "the dad" Merchant and Ed "the jersey-wearer" Patino. Don "the editor" Richter will put in his two cents from time to time, as will A2 Journal sports writer Mike Larson. He's a Pearl Jam fan. I made up those names, by the way; they don't actually use them. We don't keep nicknames here, because we're serious and studious in our craft of creating well-versed sports stories. They're more like soliloquies really. Or not... you be the judge.

We're here to write about sports, and often about the teams we're covering in our respective school areas. Teams will include Saline, Milan, Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester, Ypsilanti, Belleville, Ann Arbor Pioneer, Ann Arbor Huron, Ann Arbor Skyline, Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard and Ann Arbor Greenhills.

Have fun and good luck this season!
