DAVISON, MI – Hamady’s youthful boys basketball roster means the future is almost certainly bright for the Hawks. After struggling through a poor 2020-21 season, the Hawks are reaping the rewards of getting valuable experience.

The beginning of the season, we were playing kind of slow but now we’re playing as a team.

DAVISON, MI – Although they’ve played 15 games, in some ways Davison’s boys basketball team and coach Mike Williams are still strangers. Because Williams wasn’t hired away from Beecher until July, he didn’t get to oversee the Cardinals during the summer season.

Notre Dame countered with a 14-4 run to take a 45-39 lead with 4:10 to play. We just gotta keep grinding.”Against Notre Dame, Davison had three freshmen, a sophomore and seven juniors in the lineup.

DAVISON, MI -- The campaign to recall Genesee County GOP chair Matthew Smith from his position on the Davison Board of Education has failed to gather enough signatures to trigger a special election, missing the goal by only 96 signatures. The recall, which has hovered over Genesee County politics and started shouting matches at school board meetings for weeks, collected 3,593 validated signatures, but needed 3,689 signatures for a special election. When the signatures were first turned over to the Genesee County Clerk’s Office, more than 4,000 signatures were contained on petition sheets. Smith was censured by the Davison school board in December for lying about his misdemeanor charge, which he pleaded guilty to the month before. This was the original reasoning to recall Smith, Phillips said.

What promised to be Michigan’s best wrestling quad in recent memory certainly lived up to expectations last Friday, when perennial powerhouse programs Detroit Catholic Central, Davison and Lowell traveled to Dundee for four thrilling matches. At the end of the night, Lowell left with a pair of marquee wins, while Davison gained confidence by winning what will likely be a preview of the Division 1 team state finals.
