Soccer teams get together for Relay for Life

The Chelsea-Dexter girls' soccer game was intense Saturday afternoon. And that's certainly not surprising considering the long rivalry between the two schools. The players competed as if it were a state championship instead of a non-league game early in the season.
But what's even more impressive is what happened after the game. The players from each team got together and had some pizza and talked. And they talked about making a difference.
They are planning to form a team at next month’s Relay for Life in Chelsea.
"Sometimes rivalries get ugly and this is a way where we can get everyone together and do some good," Dexter coach Scott Forrester said.
"(The meeting) really was the highlight of the day," Chelsea coach Kirsten Smart said minutes after the game ended in a scoreless tie. "And in a way it's a good thing it ended in a tie because no one is going to be upset now."
Donations for the team can be made during Dexter and Chelsea home games.
