Heritage's Starting Five

Tune in as local Heritage West sports writers put their two cents in on area teams and the world of sports. Writers from the Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Ypsilanti, Manchester, Saline, Milan and Belleville papers will talk to you about what they do best, and what the best sports teams are doing.

High school sports

This is the time of the year when the leaves start to turn colors, the children go back to school (yeah) and the coaches start talking about all the high school sports action. Okay those are three of my favorite things and not necessarily in that order. I am looking at some interesting sport match-ups this season for my teams

Belleville is now in the Western Wayne Athletic Conference or (WWAC) as we like to abbreviate it and so far for the football team that has meant one win against Redford Union. After watching them for a couple years and not seeing or writing about one win I would have taken a win over anyone just so I could write a different style of article or column about the Tigers. Granted this week they will have to play Dearborn Fordson which is an old Mega Red foe and they will not be as kind as RU was or should I say they will bring a lot more talent to the table and it is in Tractor country on Friday night. Hope to see you there and to see if Belleville will get win number two.
Now Lincoln and Ypsi are both in the Southeast Conference (SEC) this season. Ypsi will have some tough opponents like Chelsea at home this week and they will be facing some of those opponents in swimming, tennis and a lot of what we call the "country club" sports. I hope they will be able to work there way up the ladder in those sports but I am sure they will be taking some lumps for the first couple years.

So far Ypsi quarterback Terrance Moore and Lincoln quarterback Andrew Dillon both look good this season now if they can help get some wins for their club that would be awesome.
Willow Run is independent this season and I can't wait for the AD and school to come out with some information about where they will play in the future. I have been trying for months to find this out so whenever they are ready give me a call and we can do a story.
