Detroit Martin Luther King Ambry Thomas walks in for a touchdown after cathcing the ball against Lowell, during the second half of the Michigan High School Athletic Association football finals at Ford Field in Detroit on Friday, Nov. 27, 2015.

Michigan’s football recruiting strategy is zeroing in on two main areas as the summer commitment period begins.

U-M has not landed many players from Detroit in coach Jim Harbaugh’s first two years — Detroit King’s Lavert Hill and Cass Tech lineman Michael Onwenu are the only ones — but with a number of elite players in the 2017 class, that might change.

The state’s top three uncommitted players all are from Detroit: five-star Cass Tech receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (No. 1), four-star King cornerback Ambry Thomas (No. 2) and four-star Cass Tech safety Jaylen Kelly-Powell (No. 5).

U-M director of player personnel Tony Tuioti tweeted a 30-second video this morning with the hashtag “#ProtectTheHomeland.” With Detroit rapper Big Sean’s lyrics laid over shots of downtown Detroit, the video shows U-M’s current impact Detroiters, cornerback Jourdan Lewis and safety Delano Hill, in action.

S/O to the Motor City Wolverines, it's another great Friday! #ProtectTheHomeland #GoBlue #Blueprint17 @CoachWheat6 https://t.co/Y8HbshCiHE

U-M already has commitments from the state’s No. 3 and No. 4 prospects for 2017: Oak Park offensive lineman Ja’Raymond Hall and Orchard Lake St. Mary’s linebacker Josh Ross.

The idea of protecting the homeland is intriguing and in direct contrast to U-M’s efforts in New Jersey, where the U-M coaching staff makes no bones about invading the Garden State for talent. That was part of the back-and-forth between Michigan and Rutgers during the winter, when Rutgers’ new coaching staff talked about “Fencing the Garden,” and Michigan responded by saying it was “Jumping Fences.”

Michigan’s newest recruiting pitch features its 11 players from New Jersey, all in uniform, even though some of them have yet to arrive on campus. The illustration lists them all by name and hometown and also throws in its two New Jersey-native assistants, Chris Partridge and Jedd Fisch.

The slogan is “Harvest the Garden.”

Great few days in Jersey. Love the support for our NJ Crew...! #NJ2A2 Home away from Home! https://t.co/qXVfum30bf

The Wolverines will attend two satellite camps in New Jersey: June 7 at the Hun School in Princeton and June 8 at Paramus Catholic. Harbaugh also will be speaking at the Paramus graduation June 9. U-M signee Rashan Gary, the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in the 2016 class, is in the graduating class.

Michigan is targeting a number of top New Jersey prospects in the 2017 class, including Paramus linebacker Drew Singleton, Hun defensive lineman Fred Hansard, Bridgeton athlete Markquese Bell and Paramus defensive lineman Corey Bolds.

Cass Tech WR Donovan Peoples-Jones plans to commit early

Warren De La Salle’s Allen Stritzinger runs by Muskegon Mona Shores’ Darece Roberson during first-half action in the Division 2 state championship game on November 28, 2014 at Ford Field in Detroit.

One of the top uncommitted players in Michigan for the class of 2017 is Allen Stritzinger of Warren De La Salle. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect already has a solid list of offers, which includes Michigan, Syracuse, Cincinnati and a host of MAC programs. He is looking to add more scholarships in the coming weeks.

Rivals.com ranks Stritzinger the No. 11 player in Michigan and the No. 33 athlete prospect in the nation for the class of 2017.

The big question with Stritzinger is what position he will play at the next level. He has excelled on both sides of the ball for De La Salle and could potentially play running back, cornerback or safety in college.

• 2018 LB recruit Ovie Oghoufo digs MSU: ‘Love the program’

Michigan State has not offered Stritzinger a scholarship yet and that has a lot to do with figuring out what position he has the biggest upside at. Stritzinger talked about his plans for the coming weeks when it comes to camps and combines and his overall recruitment.

“I have picked up a few new offers, mostly from MAC schools, but I really like Syracuse,” Stritzinger said. “I will be camping at Sound Mind Sound Body, Michigan State, Penn State, Syracuse and Notre Dame as of right now.”

At the Spartan Camp, it is very possible Stritzinger will workout at multiple positions. Defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett will take him through the paces and see whether cornerback or safety is the position he has the most potential to excel at in college. Barnett is very thorough and hands on when it comes to the secondary. Strizinger could also get a look on offense.

Stritzinger has been to MSU on several occasions, and the success the program has had under the direction of head coach Mark Dantonio is something he likes. Playing for a disciplined program that routinely competes for Big Ten championship is something he wants to do in college.

“The program at Michigan State is very established and they run things smooth,” Stritzinger said. “I have had a great time there (visiting).”

While Stritzinger could get a Michigan State scholarship with a strong camp performance, do not expect him to make a decision soon. As of now, he is looking to let the process play out and focus on his senior year before he makes a decision.

In addition to football, Strizinger excels in track. He is one of the top hurdlers in Michigan and has qualified for the State meet in both the 110M and 300M events. Last weekend Stritzinger, won the Catholic Title in the 300M with a sub 40-second time.

Recruiting: De La Salle standout close to MSU offer?

Macomb Dakota’s Julia Salisbury makes contact versus Utica on Tuesday.

It was a tough way to start softball pre-district play Tuesday afternoon at Sterling Heights Stevenson for both Utica and Macomb Dakota.

The Chieftains entered the tournament as the four-time MAC White champions, and the Cougars had won their second straight MAC Red Division title with a perfect record (10-0).

The game also featured two of the best pitchers in the area: Sami Torongeau of Utica and Kendahl Dunford of Dakota.

Kelcie LaTour and the Cougars’ hard-hitting lineup was too much for the Chieftains in a 9-1 victory for Dakota.

Dakota improved to 32-2 and faces Stevenson on Friday at 1 p.m.

Dunford went the entire seven innings, posting nine strikeouts and allowed just two hits.

“She was moving the ball around and keeping them off-balance,” said Dakota coach Rick Fontaine.

“She got the change-up working today, which really helped. When she’s on and the ball is moving, she’s tough to hit. She has a good defense behind her, and I think it was a great team game. If we can just keep teams from swinging at the ball and keep our defense going we’re going to be good.”

In each of the past two years, the Cougars had lost in the first game of the playoffs.

With Dunford, a sophomore, on the mound, the Cougars look to having their fortunes change.

“I couldn’t have done it without the girls behind me today,” said Dunford. “I always try to get in front of the batters, but if I don’t I try not to get frustrated with the umpires. I try to make sure I throw a pitch they aren’t expecting.”

Dakota struck first in the bottom of the second, when Kelsey Ramus ripped a single up the middle with two on and one out to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead.

Torongeau ran into trouble in the bottom of the third when two walks and a single by Julia Salisbury loaded the bases with one out.

The Chieftains dodge one bullet when they got a bounce-out, catching the runner at home.

Samantha Bunk came through with a two-out, two-run single as the ball glanced off Torongeau and into centerfield to make it 3-0.

A wild pitch made it 4-0 as Torongeau just missed tagging out the runner at the plate.

Utica got on the board in the top of the fourth on a single by Natalie Happel, a wild pitch, a sacrifice and a bounce out to make it 4-1.

Dakota’s heavy hitters kept slugging away in the bottom of the fifth, when LaTour smacked a two-run homer over the leftfield fence to make it 6-1.

“Kendahl came out strong today,” said LaTour. “I did it for my team and it helped us get the win. I just think if we continue to play this way we give ourselves a chance.”

Corbin Hison’s double in the bottom of the fifth made it 7-1, and Sarah Fringer’s sacrifice fly made it 8-1.

Sheldon Sturos, 17, a junior at Howell, putts the ball toward the hole during the high school boys’ golf regional tournament on Thursday, June 2, 2016 at the Dunham Hills Golf Course in Hartland.

Playoffs in golf are not rare. But a 10-man playoff sure is.

That’s what was needed today to settle the boys golf Division 1 regional at Dunham Hills Golf Club in Hartland.

Defending state champion Novi Detroit Catholic Central won the regional and locked up its return to next weekend’s finals with a four-man score of 295. Bloomfield placed second at 310, but three teams tied for third — the final place to advance.

Birmingham Brother Rice, Hartland and Birmingham Seaholm were knotted at 315. The Maples were knocked out based on a higher fifth-player score. Hartland and Brother Rice’s fifth score was the same, so all five golfers on both teams had to play an aggregate score playoff. The two teams tied at 25 strokes each on the first hole, but Brother Rice won the second hole, 20-24.

“It was nerve-wracking, but at the same time it’s just a fun experience for the players, for the coaches, for the spectators,” said Brother Rice coach Dan Bumpus. “They probably won’t ever be part of something like that again.

“We’ve missed (states) the last few years so it’s great to get back.”

Catholic Central is happy to be back, too. Though returning to the finals seemed a foregone conclusion because the No.1-ranked Shamrocks have torn up the competition all season, they learned to not take regionals for granted. Last year, DCC barely snuck out of regionals after playing poorly and finishing third but recovered to win it all in the finals.

“We’ve struggled in regionals in the past, in general,” said Max Palmer, the Shamrocks’ only senior starter. “So having us come out here and win today, especially on a tough course, was good for us. We knew our history at regionals, so I think we handled the pressure pretty well.”

Catholic Central coach James Dewling agreed.

“I think anyone would be (happy) grabbing the regional title,” Dewling said. “We’ve got a really good team this year. Great character kids, and they handle themselves well.

“The conditions were tougher today than I think they expected. Tougher pins. The wind was up. But a team like this, especially Max Palmer with senior leadership, and James (Piot) and Ben (Smith) know when things get tough they have to grind it out, as nothing comes easy. I think that’s one advantage we have.”

Winning tournaments has been DCC’s strength this season. The core starters of Smith — today’s medalist with a one-under-par 70 — plus Piot, Palmer, Sean Niles and Sean Sooch have won every tournament they’ve teed up this season — more than a dozen. In one case, a two-day total of 280-280—560 set a school record at 16-under par.

“We really push each other individually,” Palmer said. “We like to win tournaments individually just amongst the team, and I think that keeps us pushing. I think it humbles us too because even if you play well, someone on the team can beat you, and I think that’s kind of cool.”

Corey Malone-Hatcher, a defensive end from St. Joseph, talks after committing to Michigan on June 2, 2016.

ST. JOSEPH, MI —- For 2017 four-star defensive end Corey Malone-Hatcher, it was time to stop leading other schools on and make the decision he says he’s wanted to make for a while.

In the end, Michigan was the beneficiary, as he chose the Wolverines over Alabama, Notre Dame and Wisconsin among others during a ceremony at his school this afternoon.

“Michigan is excellence,” he said shortly after making a public announcement. “They have the whole package, and it’s a great fit for me. Academically they are superior to almost any school in the country and have put themselves in a position to win a national championship on the field in the future. It’s a combination that I can’t and couldn’t say no to.”

For Wolverines fans, their head coach is in the news every day. Whether it’s about satellite camps, attending concerts or rubbing elbows with various celebrities, Jim Harbaugh has been everywhere since he took the job.

The constant attention he’s received has made him a lightning rod across the board. He’s become one of the most beloved figures in Michigan athletics while maybe simultaneously being the most hated college coach in the country in less than a year. For Malone-Hatcher and his family, however, Harbaugh and his staff was genuine throughout the recruiting process and it’s what paid off for the Wolverines.

The best players in Michigan go to 〽️ichigan 😈 https://t.co/Km2M8aokRN

corey malone-hatcher (@CMH2017) June 02, 2016

“Coach Harbaugh is a real guy,” Orlando Malone, Corey’s father, said. “I don’t care what you read or what you hear about him. The staff was great to us throughout the process. He always made himself available for us, even when it wasn’t as convenient for him as maybe it could have been. Whenever I reached out to him, he made a point to answer us as soon as he could. When we know that he’s making the time for not just Corey, but the rest of our family, we know Corey will be in good hands with him, especially when you think about how busy he is on a day to day basis.”

Malone-Hatcher is the No. 6 ranked prospect in the state of Michigan on 247Sports.com and the No. 247 overall. He’s the 16th-ranked weak-side defensive end.

With the Wolverines now holding verbal commitments from four of the state’s top 2017 prospects, Malone-Hatcher says he wants to take as vocal a role as possible in helping the coaches build the best class possible.

“Dylan (McCaffrey) has taken an active role offensively,” he said. “I want to be that guy on the defensive side of the ball. I don’t mean this in a bragging way, but I think I can be a leader recruiting for us defensively. I had a lot of scholarship offers and have seen a lot of schools the last couple years; I know I can pitch Michigan to others because it was the best I’ve seen.”

Michigan State on Thursday picked up a verbal commitment from defensive line recruit Jacub Panasiuk of Roselle (Ill.) Lake Park over scholarship offers from Penn State, Boston College, Minnesota and Missouri. The 6-foot-4, 260-pounder will join his brother Mike, who signed as part of MSU’s class of 2016.

Under the direction of coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has tapped into family roots quite a bit.

The Bullough family: No family has more connections to Spartan football than the Bulloughs. MSU will be led this fall by linebacker Riley Bullough, just like his older brother, father, uncle and grandfather once did. Younger brother Byron also is a linebacker on the 2016 team.

The Allen family: When Jack Allen committed to Michigan State back in 2010, few could have predicted the impact that the decision would have on the program. Jack went on to become an All-America center, his younger brother Brian is considered one of the best interior linemen in the Big Ten, and brother Matt is arriving this fall.

Allen brothers hope to carry on Jack’s legacy at Michigan State

The Rison family: The name Rison at Michigan State is synonymous with excellence and excitement. Andre was a record-setting wide receiver in the 1980s. His son Hunter will join the Spartans as part of the recruiting class of 2017.

The Morrissey family: Back in the 1980s, Jim Morrissey roamed the field as a Michigan State linebacker before going on to play for the Chicago Bears. Today, his son Matt plays safety for the Spartans and has made a name for himself as an outstanding special teams player. Morrissey, a sophomore, is looking to expand his role this fall.

The Miler family: Another product of MSU’s 1980s Rose Bowl squad, John Miller is famous for intercepting four passes in one game against Michigan. His son Grayson was one of a few true freshmen who got extensive playing time last fall.

Who’s Next?

The Spartans are after another legacy recruit for the class of 2017: Tyler Johnson of Gilbert (Ariz.) Highland. Tyler is the son of former defensive lineman and eight-year NFL veteran Bill Johnson. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder is listed as a four-star recruit and No. 127 player in the nation by rivals.com.

He could project at multiple positions on either side of the ball. Johnson is expected to visit Michigan State this fall.

Sekayi Bracey from East Kentwood high school wins the 100 meter dash in front of Tamea McKelvy from Oak Park and Torisa Johnson from Ann Arbor Pioneer at the MHSAA Divison One State Track and Field championships on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at Hudsonville Eagles Stadium in Hudsonville, MI.

ZEELAND – For sheer thrills and spills, it was hard to ignore Saturday’s 3,200-meter run at the Division 2 state track finals.

First, Corunna’s Noah Jacobs charged out from the get-go, running alone for eight laps in setting a division mark in 8:55.57. His female counterpart, Holland Christian’s Kayla Windemuller, won the event despite falling — twice.

“The clock will tell you what I wanted to go for today. I wanted to break 9 (minutes), and I wanted to do 1:07 per lap, and I came close to 8:56, which is 1:07 per lap. I did my job,” Jacobs said.

The Corunna junior was the first Division 2 runner to eclipse 9 minutes and only the third to do it in a state final.

Windemuller won the 1,600 earlier (4:58.90) and was going for a double.

Windemuller, Tecumseh’s Christina Sawyer and Hamilton’s Erika Freyhof were leading the pack, and all three went down on the fifth lap after getting tangled up with each other. Windemuller also toppled with over with a lap to go, and while Sawyer turned around and encouraged her to get up, Windemuller was able to recover and pull ahead down the final stretch.

• State track and field: Northville’s Chloe Abbott makes kick count

In team competition, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s defended its championship, while Lansing Waverly’s girls reached the winner’s podium for the first time.

St. Mary’s biggest event was the 300 hurdles, with Richard Bowens winning in a division-record 37.46, and teammate Shermond Dabney finishing third (38.61). Kahlee Hamler won the 100 (10.99), while Bowens, Dabney, Hamler and Ky’ren Cunningham won the 4×200 in a record 1:27.71. Tyler Cochran added a fourth in the 400 dash (49.44).

St. Mary’s had 46 points, two better than Mason, which won three field events. Zeeland East (34), Macomb Lutheran North (33) and Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills (29.5) rounded out the top five.

Mason got the bulk of its points early as Justin Scavard won the shot put and discus (57-10.5, 182-6), and Jarrett VanHavel took first in pole vault (15-3).

For the girls, Waverly had 42, two ahead of Flint Powers. Romulus (31), Grand Rapids South Christian (26) and Zeeland East (24) followed.

Teaghan Thomas, Jazlynn Wilcox, Maya Garrett and Tra’chele Roberts won the 4×200 and 4×100 relays (1:43.88 and 48.70) soon after Roberts picked up the win in the 100 (12.55). Malin Smith added a runner-up finish in shot put (42-2.75).

Like the Warriors, Powers won three events. Lindsey Brannan, Olivia Bennett, Libbie Gleason and Julia Vanitvelt took first in the 4×800 relay, and Nikole Sargent was a double winner in shot put (47-5.5 and 147-9).

Lutheran North’s Alex Klemm set a division mark with 7 feet in the high jump.

HUDSONVILLE – It was the 200-meter finals, and who was making a move on the field but Rachel Berry.

Northville High’s Chloe Abbott won the 200- and 400-meter runs Saturday. He used a late surge to beat a tough field in the 200.

Rachel Berry? From the TV show “Glee?”

OK, it wasn’t Rachel Berry. It was Chloe Abbott, the senior from Northville, who just might end up on television someday.

But back to the 200.

It was less than an hour after Abbott had set a state record by winning the 400 meters (53.12) that she found herself in the race of her life against a tremendous field that included three-time defending state champ Sekayi Bracey, who already had won the 100 meters for the fourth time and the long jump for the third time.

“I never even dreamed of beating Sekayi,” Abbott said. “I know how great she was. She hasn’t had a lot of competition all season, so I was thinking she was going to come out today and really push it because she finally has competition. I was a little nervous about that.”

Abbott had never beaten Bracey in a race, and they will be racing a lot together over the next four years after they both enroll at Purdue this fall.

That is why Abbott had to play mind games with herself after winning the 400.

“I talked to my friends, relaxed myself a little bit, kind of numbed myself out of the 400 zone,” she said. “If you think about it for a long time, you think: ‘Oh, wow, I did so well in the 400.’ You get comfortable with it. I wanted to forget that I did that and focus on my next event, the 200.”

Abbott didn’t have a good start, and by starting in Lane 4 she had a bunch of runners ahead of her on the staggered start.

She does have a tremendous finishing kick from running the 400.

“I thought about it, and I have a 400-meter kick, and that’s something I kind of had over the girls,” she said. “I knew I could catch them as long as I keep my composure, stay relaxed.”

The challenge for Abbott was to stay close enough to Bracey and the others to make her kick work.

“I know I can do this,” she told herself. “I’ve just got to lift, reach and drive. At the international exchange zone, I will lift up, push through, and that’s when my 400 comes in.”

That is when she noticed something of a triangle forming with the other runners and she shot to the top, concentrating on her form and breathing.

“It was very scary when I was coming through,” she said. “The pyramid was there. I was like, ‘What am I doing? Why am I doing this? But I can.’ ”

Yes she can, and yes she did, winning the race in 24.03. Her future teammate, Bracey, finished fourth.

The bubbly Abbott will not enroll at Purdue with “undecided” listed as her major. This young lady has big plans.

“I’m majoring in music and performing arts,” she said. “I’m a singer, an actor.”

Of course she is.

“Glee” was her favorite TV show, and Rachel Berry was her favorite character on the show.

“I’m very upset it’s not on anymore,” she said. “I really loved that show.”

Abbott capped off her day by taking the baton in fifth place and making up 20 meters to give Northville the win in the 1,600 relay.

That is why this was probably the best day of Abbott’s life.

“Right now, yes, because I am surprising myself and constantly doing everything that I’ve been practicing for,” she said.

HUDSONVILLE — Connor Bandel was carrying his shot as he approached the shot put ring for his second throw of the finals when suddenly the ball slipped out of his hand and began rolling away.

Oxford senior Connor Bandel.

It was as if the shot knew what was about to happen and was trying to escape.

“That’s a good thought,” the Oxford High senior said. “It might have. I’d like to think that.”

The shot knew it because everyone crammed around the shot put area here Saturday morning had a feeling they were about to witness history.

The 6-feet-4, 230-pound senior defending state champ retrieved the shot, gathered himself in the ring and then sent the shot soaring into the stratosphere, seemingly headed to Traverse City.

The shot landed 67-feet, 5.75 inches away, giving Bandel the best throw in state history, bettering his throw of 67-2.5 last week.

Before the throw was measured the fans applauded louder than they had all day, even louder that Bandel’s first throw of the finals, 65-6.75, which broke the state finals meet record of 64-0.5, set by T.J. Duckett.

Bandel, who later also won his second consecutive discus title, appeared to psych out the competition, who were fouling left on right in the finals. It was as if they knew they had no shot at besting the best soccer goalie at the state meet.

Yes, Bandel was a four-year starter on the soccer team and also played basketball for two years before giving up the sport, or so he thought.

Midway through this past basketball season he rejoined the team.

“To be honest, part of the reason I did it was I needed a break from weightlifting,” he said. “I was weightlifting so much … my shoulder was really starting to hurt me. I figured this would be two good things because I will get well-conditioned for the track season and I’ll get a break so my body can kind of recover.”

A 3.3 student with a 26 on the ACT, Bandel understands that specialization is not the way to go for kids, even those at the elite level.

“As far as elementary and middle school people,” he said, “they really need to do as many sports as they can because it will prevent injuries and it also help you in other sports even if you take away time because you’ll be more athletic.”

And to let you know what kind of kid we’re dealing with here, Bandel spent more time talking about his free throw shooting than his shot putting.

“I was by far the worst free throw shooter on the team this year; it was pretty bad at some points,” he said, shaking his head. “They kind of had me set up at half court and try to put the ball in the basket.”

If you followed Bandel’s senior season you could see this coming. He got better and better as the season progressed. As he continued to throw better, his confidence grew.

Truthfully, no other thrower in either event had a chance because Bandel had more than just confidence going for him.

“When you get to be a senior you kind of get the senior swag sort of thing where you feel like no matter who’s in the competition, no matter how you’re feeling you can always win the competition,” he said. “That kind of came on more as the season went. I always felt confident going into meets. I don’t feel pressure, I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I kind of felt relaxed and ready to do it.”

And that is why his shot tried rolling back to Oxford before his record-setting throw.

East Lansing High’s Kentre Patterson, center, wins the 110-meter hurdles in front of Tshawn Kimbrough, left, and Sava las Morgan.

HUDSONVILLE – Athletes face injuries, but working through one and winning a state title the same day — in record fashion — was Anthony Owen’s signature sign-off to a high school career Saturday in the Division 1 state championship.

The senior from Jackson tweaked his left hamstring, a cramp he called it, during the preliminaries of the long jump.

“I was really trying to fight that and stretch that out, and it just wasn’t working for me,” Owens said. “Things weren’t going my way.”

But things changed. On his last attempt of the competition, Owens stayed airborne long enough to win the event, and do so with a Division 1 state-record jump of 24 feet, 1.25 inches. The former record was 24-01, by Jeff Kline of Flushing in 2009.

“This was a big deal for me, because I didn’t think I was going to be able to get 24 feet with my left hamstring pulling on me, but the fact that I fought through it meant a lot. I’m just glad to compete with those guys.

“I knew right then and there (right after the injury) that my speed was going to be a lot slower than usual. My coach told me to just calm down and relax, and leave it all out there. Don’t focus on the leg, focus on the jump and what I can do.”

Division 2 track: St. Mary’s and Waverly win titles

■What a throw: Grand Blanc’s Quiara Wheeler took up girls discus this season for the first time. She ended the year with a state title, tossing the discus 136 feet, 2 inches — 5 feet longer than second place.

Wheeler competed in the shot put last year but switched.

“I started getting better in discus and started concentrating more,” Wheeler said. “The technique is really critical, so I was concentrating on that and got better. This is very exciting. I didn’t expect this (in my first year). I just came in and did what my coach said, throw like you’re the only person in the ring, and I did.”

■Healthy hurdlers: Kentre Patterson of East Lansing couldn’t compete in regionals last year as a sophomore due to mononucleosis, so he missed the state tournament. He said it was tormenting to look at the results afterward and knowing he could have competed well.

With another chance, the junior won the state title in the 110-meter hurdles at 14.03.

“I had a good start, then got my rhythm going over the first few hurdles,” he said. “It was really hard last year, looking at the final results, and hard not being able to compete with the guys.”

Ann Arbor Pioneer’s Britten Bowen won the girls 100-meter hurdles in 14.08. It was her second best personally but good enough for the state title.

“In the finals, I hit a few (hurdles) but it didn’t slow me down,” she said. “I kept up my momentum, kept running through it. It was a good race overall. I’m really proud of my team for supporting me. I’m really blessed. It’s a good day.”

Bowen and her teammates bettered the state record in the 4×100 relay as well, but still took second to record-setting Oak Park (46.28).

State track and field: Northville’s Chloe Abbott makes kick count

■Fastest man: East Kentwood’s Khance Meyers won the 100-meter dash in 10.73, then ran the first leg of a state-record 4×200 relay team, which finished in 1:26.27 to best the school’s own Division 1 record set in 2011.

“When I hear fastest man in the state, I think of the hard work and dedication, I thank my coaches and give glory to God,” Meyers said about the individual race.

“First leg is not the leg I really like to do, but I accept it for our team. I’ll take it, and I’m glad that I can run the first leg. Our team worked really hard together and just got it.”

■A triple down: Oak Park doubled up the team trophies by winning the boys and the girls team state championships. For the girls, it was their third consecutive title.

Ann Arbor Pioneer, which was runner-up in the girls, was the last school to win both the boys and girls titles the same year (2007).

The Oak Park girls set a state record in the 4×200 relay at 1:36.66, almost 1 second faster than the record Detroit Mumford set in 2005. Freshman Janae Barksdale ran the first leg.

“I like the pressure of going first, knowing you have to do what you have to do to pop it off in order to put the team in a good spot,” she said. “All our exchanges were good. Exchanges count, no matter what. Exchanges matter because if you can’t get the baton that’s what really drops your time.”

■Tumbling down: During the boys 1600 run, feet got tangled in the second lap and at least two runners went to the track surface. But sophomore d

“I was feeling good all race,” Giannobile said. “I felt really rested, and I tapered really well, I think.”

Corey Malone-Hatcher, a defensive end from St. Joseph, talks after committing to Michigan on June 2, 2016.

Michigan earned a verbal commitment last week from four-star defensive end Corey Malone-Hatcher of St. Joseph.

But a sidenote of the news conference was Malone-Hatcher’s interesting fashion choice of a lei made out of crumpled dollar bills. It’s not a look you see every day, and drew a fair bit of criticism on social media, particularly from fans of teams jilted by Malone-Hatcher, such as Michigan State and Ohio State.

Today, Malone-Hatcher went on Twitter himself to defend his accessory.

“The fact that you reference a ‘cash necklace’ in order to determine what kind of person I am shows that you have no contact with staff,” he wrote in a tweet that later was deleted. “It’s a traditional lei and a hawaiian celebration but also no school that recruiting me will give you red flags in my personality.”

He followed up those with a couple of tweets that weren’t deleted:

Washington Redskins and former Spartan quarterback Kirk Cousins talks with LSJ lead preps reporter Brian Calloway during the Lansing State Journal Greater Lansing Sports Awards Show show Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at the Lansing Center.

LANSING – Kirk Cousins flashed back to the trying moments of his early NFL days. He’d gone from an adored star starting quarterback in college to an often-criticized backup.

A phrase often used by both Mark Dantonio and Tom Izzo continued to flow through the former Michigan State quarterback’s mind.

“Tough times don’t last,” they’d tell him, “but tough people do.”

“I think for me, I had to live that reality the last couple of years,” Cousins told a room full of high school athletes Tuesday at the Greater Lansing Sports Awards banquet. “In my third year in the NFL, I got the chance to play. And I didn’t play very well, and I was benched.”

That was 2014. A year later, Cousins earned the starting quarterback job over Robert Griffin III and led Washington to a 9-7 record and the NFC East crown. That perseverance also landed Cousins a one-year, franchise-tagged contract of nearly $20 million for the upcoming season.

“I definitely feel a sense of urgency now as a starting quarterback to make good on that opportunity and have some sustained success,” said Cousins, who threw for a single-season franchise high of 4,166 passing yards and 379 completions.

“We talked about that at Michigan State. It feels very similar to my early years starting at Michigan State. We’re trying to build something. We had a taste of success last year. By no means was it as far as we want to go. Now, the challenge is, can we do it again?”

Cousins used his road from struggle to success as a message to the crowd of nearly 1,000 high school athletes.

“Understand that things aren’t always going to go your way,” he said. “When they do, accept it with humility and responsibility. And when they don’t, don’t just be a victim, choose to find a way to fix it. And that was my situation.

“If things didn’t go my way, I didn’t say, ‘Poor me,’ and blame the coaches or blame the situation or blame teammates. No. It’s take ownership for your mistakes, I’ve gotta fix it. And when you do that, usually good things happen in the long run.”

Cousins spoke for about a half hour to the crowd of athletes and their parents at the event, sponsored by the Lansing State Journal. Here are some excerpts:

On the reaction to his ‘You like that?’ outburst

“Was I surprised of how that comment blew up? I was shocked. To tell you the story, it happened, I go into the locker room, I talk to the media, I head out to the car. I had several family and friends at the game, and they said, ‘Your video’s everywhere, it’s all over social media.’ I said, ‘What video? What did I do?’ And they said, ‘Well, your You Like That thing.’ And I said, ‘That was on camera?’ I didn’t even know that was being taped. … I got home and assumed like many things on social media that, in a matter of hours, this is going to die. And it didn’t. And the next day it was still going and still going.”

On MSU players in the NFL

“It’s been a thrill to watch teammates play in the NFL, watch Le’Veon Bell become THE player in the NFL – which is no surprise. I had a front-row seat to watch him do that when he was back at Michigan State. When I arrived at Michigan State in 2007, they hadn’t been a bowl game in several years. And coach Dantonio just instantly kind of turned the program in the right direction. It took time, but it’s very gratifying to see that success and watch from a distance. Every Saturday, I turn on the Spartans and watch the whole afternoon and cheer them on. Just to see the success and the consistent winning and a program that’s doing it the right way, it’s so gratifying. I’m so proud to say I’m a Spartan. Believe me, around the NFL – I’m talking coaches, scouts – when you say you’re from Michigan State, it’s instant respect. They know the program coach Dantonio has built, from the strength staff to the academic staff to the coaches themselves. It really says a lot to say you’re a Spartan around NFL circles. That’s the kind of respect I think coach and myself and many of the people involved in it were trying to build.”

On his biggest advice to athletes

“I think it’s very important as an athlete to remember that, while sports are a big part of your life and it’s a big part of what you do, it’s not your identity. It’s not who you are at the end of the day. I think it’s helped me tremendously, even as a professional athlete now, to understand that playing football and playing quarterback is what I do, but it’s not who I am. One day, football is going to end, and my life is going to be about so much more than just how many touchdown passes did I throw and did we beat Michigan and things like that.”

On advice for students headed to college

“I challenge you to be a great decision-maker. What I mean by that is to understand that every decision you make has consequences. There’s a tomorrow for every today, and you have to live with the consequences of the decisions that you make – good or bad. You can’t do it all in college. For me, I made a decision that school and football were going to become the ultimate priorities for me. I wanted to excel at both, and as a result, at times, my social life got put on the shelf. I’ve absolutely at times regretted that. I look back and say, ‘Man, I probably didn’t have as much fun in college as I wish I did.’ I didn’t socialize as much or have as many of those life-long friends from college. But, football and school were the priorities. I made a decision to focus on that, and I knew there was going to be a consequence for that.”

Freyja Garbaccio, Girls Swimmer of the Year, from Okemos High School reacts to meeting former Spartan and current Washington Redskins Kirk Cousins backstage during the LSJ Sports Awards at the Lansing Center on Tuesday, June 7, 2016.

The red-and-white lights illuminated the Lansing Center stage like a clear night.

Yet the brightest stars inside the center Tuesday were the hundreds of area high school athletes who came together for the Lansing State Journal’s inaugural Greater Lansing Sports Awards Banquet.

“Well, this is a pretty cool event, huh?” said Charlotte’s Alex Reinbold, beaming as he accepted his award for LSJ Boys Tennis Player of the Year and gazing around the near-sellout crowd of about 1,000 athletes, parents, coaches and supporters.

Indeed, it was.

Reinbold was one of 28 athletes named the best in their respective sports in mid-Michigan at the red-carpet gala. Lansing Catholic’s Tony Poljan and Williamston’s Renee Sturm were named the LSJ’s Male and Female Athletes of the Year, respectively, as the top senior multisport athletes in mid-Michigan.

Sturm, who arrived late after the Hornets’ home regional semifinal soccer victory over Allen Park Cabrini High, accepted her award while still wearing her shorts and Williamston t-shirt. She joked that, “I didn’t get the dress-up memo.”

“It’s special and really awesome to be surrounded by all of these athletes and be selected for the award,” said Sturm, who will play basketball at Ferris State University in the fall. “It’s just cool to see hard work pay off.”

• The full winners list: LSJ Greater Lansing Sports Awards

MSU Federal Credit Union and Sparrow Health System sponsored the event. Dean Transportation and Lansing Community College provided supporting sponsorships.

With the new format also comes a number of new awards. The Courage Award posthumously went to Mason’s Brendan Brown, a bowler who died in April after an 18-month battle with cancer. Lansing Catholic’s boys cross country team was named the Sparrow Team of the Year. Charlotte’s Lindsey Carlson earned the MSUFCU Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Holt’s Kamrin Reed earned the Comeback Player of the Year Award, and Mason boys soccer coach Nick Binder earned Coach of the Year.

Fan awards also were given to the Marching Band of the Year (Eaton Rapids), Student Section of the Year (Charlotte), Video of the Year (Clay Soule of Dansville) and Mascot of the Year (Pirate Pete from Pewamo-Westphalia).

Former Michigan State University quarterback Kirk Cousins answered questions from State Journal lead high school sports reporter Brian Calloway, giving advice to the high school athletes about how to find success on and off the field.

“My challenge to all of you is to understand that things aren’t always going to go your way,” said Cousins, the starting quarterback of the Washington Redskins. “When they do, accept it with humility and responsibility. And when they don’t, don’t just be a victim, choose a way to try and fix it.”

Many of the athletes thanked their parents, coaches, teammates and teachers as they accepted their awards. East Lansing’s Taryn McCutcheon, the girls basketball Player of the Year, thanked God and her family first, then “the community for accepting me when I came” to mid-Michigan from West Virginia in January.

“And,” the future MSU women’s player added, “I want to thank whoever made the cheesecake. It was great.”

Southfield sophomore Sam Johnson goes through quarterback drills Friday during the Sound Mind Sound Body camp.

He already has a fancy nickname: SJ3.

Samuel Johnson III is now a veteran of the Sound Mind Sound Body camp held at Wayne State University.

The sophomore turned in his second strong performance at the camp in two years.

There were fewer quarterbacks from a year ago, but Johnson’s size at 6-feet-4 and about the 10 pounds of muscle he has put on from a year ago were evident.

“There were less quarterbacks and less people, which meant more reps for me,” he said after throwing footballs all over the field Friday.

“The competition was just as good as last year. I think so. There were a lot of class of 2017 players out here.”

Johnson’s not in that group — he’s in the class of 2019 and already getting attention.

Last season at the camp, before even playing a game at Southfield High, he won the youth MVP award and then captured the quarterback challenge over the likes of Messiah deWeaver (Michigan State) and Tony Poljan (Central Michigan) in the field.

Scouts hail Johnson as having a strong arm and good accuracy. Last season with Michigan assistant Jedd Fisch running the accuracy drill, Johnson emerged as the most accurate passer.

U-M’s Jim Harbaugh steals show at Wayne State’s Sound Mind Sound Body

Friday afternoon, the quarterbacks seemed to have a hard time getting in sync with the receivers, but it’s obvious the ball flies accurately out of Johnson’s young hands.

“I think I did good,” he said. “I made it to the top six quarterbacks. Today I learned to keep a good base and always be ready to throw the ball. We watched a few clips of Peyton Manning and took notes and learned some things from him.”

Even with veterans like Rodney Hall of Detroit Cass Tech and charismatic and talented Jairus Grissom of River Rouge on the field, Johnson’s ability stood out.

He bounced to the music as the quarterbacks went through passing drills, hamming it up with Grissom, a star in his own right as a 2017 prospect.

“The drills helped me quite a bit, especially learning how to throw the ball in tight windows,” Johnson said.

Being at the camp, “helps my recruiting prospects,” he said. “It gives me more opportunities. It hasn’t gotten too crazy yet, but I’ll just keep working and hopefully get more offers and keep grinding with my team.”

He has been to Notre Dame and has offers from Temple and Bowling Green, with the list growing.

As a returning starter, Johnson is now the clear leader of the Bluejays’ offense. Losing talented running back Matt Falcon to injury before the start of last season didn’t give Johnson a veteran in the backfield to help, but he held his own.

“I thought I did pretty well for a freshman on varsity, but we should be way better this year,” he said. “We have a lot more seniors. I’m good with the speed of the game and I know what’s going on now. Losing Matt was tough, but everything’s not perfect and it’s the next man up. We have some guys coming over from (Southfield) Lathrup with nice speed and nice size.”

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, left, and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer talk Friday during the Sound Mind Sound Body camp at Wayne State.

What was Mark Dantonio doing at the Sound Mind Sound Body football camp Friday?

Didn’t Michigan State board up its football program and close up shop, forever condemned to competitive purgatory because there isn’t enough room within the state’s football bubble with Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and his Summer Satellite Circus consuming all the media oxygen?

“We’re fine,” Dantonio said with a wink of the eye and a devilish smile.

Harbaugh dominates the headlines, perfectly meshing into an evolving communicative culture predicated more on social-media sniping than thought-provoking discourse. But the Michigan coach shared top billing with the Michigan State coach at the summer football camp at Wayne State.

Dantonio was as much of an attraction. There were a number of young players who shouted their congratulations to him while walking past him, praising him for making the playoffs last season.

How often does a coach accept accolades for losing, 38-0?

Then Ohio State coach Urban Meyer walked onto Tom Adams Field. He got there late. It was like Elvis walking onto the stage. Many stopped in their tracks, mesmerized by what they saw.

Several camp participants followed him, hoping for a quick word of encouragement. But Meyer was very careful in his responses, far more low-key than he was at last year’s Sound Mind Sound Body camp.

The NCAA is watching these camps much more closely. Who’s to blame? That’s a matter of preference. Is it Harbaugh’s fault for calling out the NCAA for ignoring the needs of young people? Is it the SEC’s fault for questioning Harbaugh’s motives? Or it is simply a sport that has grown into a ravenous monster feasting on its own hypocrisies?

U-M’s Jim Harbaugh steals show at Wayne State’s Sound Mind Sound Body

Sound Mind Sound Body does a tremendous job. The camp creates access, opening doors once closed.

But big-name coaches such as Meyer, Dantonio and Harbaugh are not interested in camps like these because they offer a chance for a young man to get a scholarship to Eastern Michigan or Bowling Green. They care only about how these camps help them. And that’s why the NCAA should take a more serious look at these camps.

Meyer wouldn’t take questions when approached Friday. He told the Free Press that the NCAA told him he couldn’t pose for pictures, sign autographs or talk to the media. When told that Dantonio and Harbaugh spoke with reporters earlier, Meyer shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “I normally would love to answer a couple of questions, but I’m going to follow what I’ve been told.”

Those looking for more back-biting Friday between Harbaugh and everybody else were disappointed.

“I can’t turn a show on, a talk show now, whether it’s political or sports, and it looks to be a template,” Harbaugh said. “OK, what’s going to be the topic? What side are you taking? OK, you talk about it being positive and you talk about it being negative. They banter back and forth, and then they’ve filled up 10 minutes of airtime. … It seems that these days every last single topic has fallen into that TV show, radio show template.”

But hasn’t Harbaugh willingly contributed to that perception?

“I’m stating the truth as I know it and believe it,” he said. “We’re going to stand our ground on that. You can play the devil’s advocate. That’s what we’re doing here.”

Harbaugh is a breath of fresh air who knows, in the absence of winning many big games so far, to deliver some big talk. But his closest competitors don’t seem terribly worried that he has dominated college football’s spring and summer.

Since the actual games are played in the fall.

Dantonio: LB Ed Davis must graduate to return for MSU

Orchard Lake St. Mary’s receiver K. J. Hamler decided earlier this week to move to IMG Academy in Florida for his senior season.

It was something of a farewell performance for KJ Hamler when he ran pass patterns, caught passes and did push-ups at the Sound Mind Sound Body camp at Wayne State.

Earlier this week the 2017 wide receiver from Orchard Lake St. Mary’s announced he will not be a senior at St. Mary’s in the fall.

Instead, Hamler, 5-feet-9, 155-pounds, will be a senior wide receiver at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

And why not? The tuition for a boarding school student — Hamler will probably not make the commute from Farmington every day — is a mere $72,900 a year.

That’s right — $72,900!

“I ain’t paying that,” Hamler said emphatically Friday afternoon. “I don’t know what I’m paying, but I’m not paying that.”

But he will be enrolling at IMG, something that he has been thinking about for some time, spurred by former Michigan receiver Devin Funchess, who is with the Carolina Panthers.

“It came up at the beginning of this (school) year, but I said I was staying here,” he said. “In the middle of the year school year it started coming up again. My God-brother, Devin Funchess, kept mentioning it to me: ‘Hey, KJ I need you to go down there.’

“I didn’t really want to go down there at first — I’m leaving my family, I’m leaving my friends — but at the end of the day I took a visit. I just got back Monday.”

When he returned to Michigan he had his mind made up, although his family certainly played a role in his decision-making process.

“My mom, she wanted me to go down there,” he said. “My dad had a little hard time with it, I’m his only son. They took this risk and they took the sacrifice because they want to make me better. They want to put me in a position where I can be great.

“I told my pops when I was 4-years-old, I want to be the greatest in the world.”

Hamler may not be the greatest in the world, but he was certainly one of the better wide receivers at the camp.

He did not catch every pass thrown his way, which is where the push-ups came in. Whenever he didn’t catch a ball that hit his hands, Hamler — unprompted — dropped to the ground and did 10 push-ups.

“I probably did 30 push-ups,” he estimated.

But he did show amazing quickness and excellent cutting ability that has made him popular with college coaches. This week he picked up an offer from Oregon, which gives him 26 offers.

Among the colleges that have extended offers are Michigan, Michigan State, Arizona and a bevy of other schools from power five conferences and many of the schools are not limiting him to receiver.

Sound Mind Sound Body: Southfield QB Samuel Johnson III shines again

“A lot of people want me to play both ways as well,” he said. “Louisville and Michigan were talking about playing me both ways. Kentucky wants to play me both ways. Penn State may want to play me both ways.”

But he will not be playing both ways at St. Mary’s this year as the Eaglets attempt to win their third consecutive state title.

That was one of the minuses in accepting the offer to play at IMG this fall.

“I’ll probably miss out on the three-peat in the state championship,” Hamler said. “I believe Orchard Lake still has a chance to win the state championship. I’m just a little piece of the puzzle, I’m not the whole team. You all can’t rely on one person. Orchard Lake still has a sweet team in my opinion and they can go three-peat.”

Hamler insisted there was nothing that drove him away from St. Mary’s. It was more of a business decision.

“It wasn’t nothin’ personal with my school, it was just they offered me an opportunity and I took it,” he said. “It was a better opportunity for me. They’re going to get me mentally, physically ready for college. Plus, being far away from home, if I make a decision to go out of state, it’s just better for me.”

Big Rapids High School’s Branden Childress goes through drills during the Sound Mind Sound Body football camp at Wayne State University on Friday.

The quarterbacks at this weekend’s Sound Mind Sound Body camp at Wayne State University would tell you Braeden Childress made an inviting target.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound sophomore from Big Rapids High School projects as a tight end at the next level and is just starting to draw interest with Central Michigan and Toledo already offering.

However, when schools venture to the western part of the state he’ll be under center throwing passes instead of catching them.

“I was playing QB last year, but I like tight end,” he said after Friday’s workout. “There’s something about the position, playing free and playing with swag. I’ll be playing QB. Coach said I’ll be playing some tight end. I practice in the offseason at tight end and I’m going to a lot of camps playing tight end. I’m doing drills and running routes every day at school at tight end.”

Asked whether he was hurting his recruiting prospects by playing quarterback instead of tight end, Childress said: “Well, every time I talk to a coach they just say they’re looking at me athletically. They see my highlights at tight end. The first three games I played tight end, then I switched to quarterback and played the rest of the season there. They see my highlights from the first three games and when I come here I’m at tight end. The regular season they’ll see me at QB.’’

He hoped his first trip to SMSB increases his interest.

A gifted athlete, Childress helped both the football and basketball teams to banner seasons.

Childress and company won their Division 4 pre-district football game against Escanaba, but fell to Chippewa Hills in the district championship game to finish at 7-3.

As a reserve forward, the basketball team advanced to the Breslin Center for the first time, losing to Stevensville Lakeshore in a heartbreaker, 61-60, in the Class B semifinal. He scored six points and pulled down four rebounds.

“It was our best year ever,” said Childress. “We played a lot of good competition down the road. We wanted to get that win and get to the championship game, but it didn’t happen. Hopefully we can get back.

“It was a whole other atmosphere that I’ve never experienced before and the whole school hadn’t. The school was behind us and it just felt great. It was a great experience being there.”

However, his love is football.

“The competitive nature in football,” he said. “There’s more competitiveness in football then basketball. There’s a different mentality.”

One of his biggest fans is cousin Ira Childress, the athletic director at Okemos High School. He was in the stands for the loss to Stevensville Lakeshore and served as a staff member for SMSB.

“He’s a tremendous athlete and a great young man,” said Ira Childress. “A kid who is really grounded. He’s getting a lot of attention in recruiting, but he has stayed focused and stayed grounded. I’m proud of him. Obviously a big kid. Anytime you’re 6-4 and 220 playing tight end and quarterback you’re going to get some attention. The other part of him is he has over a 3.0 grade-point average as well. It’s good being the total package. He’s a heck of a basketball player and it was good to see him on the big stage.”

Young Childress said he learned valuable lessons on and off the field during his two days at Wayne State.

“I learned that the biggest thing is to stay humble,” he said. “Separating yourself by staying humble to God and staying academically fit and doing everything you’re supposed to do when eyes are on you.”

Forest Hills Central high school celebrate a goal during second half action of the Division Two MHSAA Lacrosse Finals against East Grand Rapids Saturday, June 11, 2016 at Parker Stadium in Howell MI. Kirthmon F. Dozier/Detroit Free Press

In order to win its third state lacrosse championship this decade — but first since 2012 — Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central just needed to be patient.

East Grand Rapids’ zone defense slowed the pace against the high-octane Rangers and the Pioneers forced a 5-5 tie by the end of the third quarter, but Forest Hills Central kicked it up a notch down the stretch and rallied for a 10-6 win.

“Ranger lacrosse — our game is really in the fourth quarter,” said Tanner Hallock, who scored the first two goals of the day. “We’re pretty good about finishing out things. Not many times we had to face that adversity, though, and I thought our guys really brought it together as a team and came out with a nice win.”

Although East Grand Rapids never led in the contest, the Pioneers grabbed the momentum on a gorgeous goal by Hub Hejna two seconds before the end of the third. With time waning, East rushed the ball upfield, and Matt Solberg got the ball to Hejna, who forced the ball in from right in front of the crease.

While that game-tying goal energized the Pioneer players and fans, Forest Hills Central (20-2) clamped down from that point on, limiting East’s offensive opportunities by winning draws, intercepting passes and pouncing on loose balls.

It also helped that the Rangers to put in three consecutive goals in the final quarter, as Drew Bailey, Patrick English and Jack Uecker each scored within a six-minute span to up their lead to 8-5.

Sophomore Bryce Clay, Central’s leading scorer this season, tallied three goals, the third coming with under a minute to play.

“The whole game we wanted to keep the foot on the neck, put the gas pedal down. Every day in practice we work hard so we were trained for it. We didn’t buckle and we came out with the win,” said Clay. “We just stuck to our offense and our defense held up. Once you stick to the systems, stuff happens.”

Rangers coach Jake Seiler said East Grand Rapids (15-6) put up a good challenge for much of the day.

“They play that zone defense very well and it just inherently slows the game down,” he said. “We preached a lot at halftime get back to what we’ve been doing so well, which is play well in transition. We were kind of in our own heads against the zone, they wanted to possess the ball and bang the ball around, but what we wanted them to do was to run the ball. I think they really stepped it up in that second half and played Ranger ball that we’ve been doing so well all year long.”

Forest Hills Central won its most recent title in 2012 but couldn’t follow it up until Saturday, despite coming close in the past three seasons. The Rangers reached the 2013 finals, and bowed out in the semifinals in the prior two campaigns.

“It’s an unreal feeling, honestly,” Hallock said. “Finally getting the goal that you set out for three years is one of the greatest feelings.”

Birmingham Brother Rice celebrates its 10-8 win over Novi Detroit Catholic Central. The Warriors are the only team to have won the Div. 1 state title.

Novi Detroit Catholic Central put up a fight, but in the end, the lacrosse world still belongs to Birmingham Brother Rice. The Warriors — the only team in history to win the Division 1 title — extended their championship streak to 12 by turning back Catholic Central, 10-8, in Saturday’s championship at Howell Parker Middle School.

It’s the third straight year that Rice (20-2) has beaten CC in the title tilt, even though the Shamrocks have gotten closer each time. The 2014 game was a 16-goal blowout while last year’s differential was nine.

“Two years ago it was 23-7 and now it’s only a two-goal game; that speaks to the expansion of lacrosse in Michigan and I think that’s great for everyone,” said Brother Rice captain Morgan Macko, who scored once and had four assists.

“They came in, they were inspired, they fought hard. CC’s going to play hard against Rice every time they come in. We expected it,” Brother Rice coach Ajay Chawla said. “Coach (Dave) Wilson did a nice job getting these guys ready. At the end of the day, we knew we were going to have a dogfight on our hands.”

For much of Saturday’s contest, there were indications that this one might have gone either way. The Shamrocks (17-5) scored first and there were five ties, until Rice scored three times within a 21/2-minute span in the third quarter — with each play set up by Macko — to get some breathing room.

“We needed to put two or three goals together to snap their backs, and we did that,” Chawla said. “That helped us a lot and we kept that two-goal lead even when they answered. I’m proud of the way the boys played.”

Macko fed junior Nick Dudley twice, viewing the play from behind the cage and finding Dudley at the top of the crease. Macko said it was similar to last year’s final, when he scored five goals.

“If you look at those past couple of games, the past two state championships, there wasn’t much individual efforts on those goals, it was all teammates setting me up and I was in the right place at the right time,” said the Bellarmine University commit. “I wasn’t really benefiting me today, it was Nick Dudley in the right place at the right time, and that was huge for us today.”

Dudley — the smallest player on the field at 5-foot-5, 120 — scored four times.

“His vision is amazing. It was him,” Dudley said of his senior teammate. “Catholic Central’s a good team, and we’ve just got to keep working hard and make sure that close score doesn’t happen again.”

Still, Wilson said, someone is bound to knock off Brother Rice eventually.

“From our perspective, it’s not a matter of ‘if,’ it’s a matter of ‘when,’ ” he said. “We feel confident in that and we are working very hard.”
