The semi-regular linking of articles covering high school games in the state. As always, e-mail or tweet me if you find an article of interest.

Forest Hills Central 12, Forest Hills Northern 7. Photo at right of FHC’s Andrew Kransberger dodging Eastern defender Mark Lawson, who will play football at Michigan in the fall.
Central had a 9-0 lead at halftime, at which point one must assume they called off the dogs to reach the 12-7 final.
Ann Arbor Greenhills 13, Belleville 3. Greenhills went on a 6-0 run in the second quarter to pull away and ultimately earn the win. Article number 2.
Flint Powers 10, Ann Arbor Skyline 6. Dominic Hamper had seven assists and a goal for Powers.
Ann Arbor Huron 8, Tecumseh 7 (3OT).
Ann Arbor Huron scored four times in the fourth quarter to tie the game, then outlasted Tecumseh in three overtimes Wedneday.
“It feels really good to win this one,” Ann Arbor Huron coach Greg Monroe said. “We really deserve it.”
Great comeback for Huron, but their team has really fallen off this year with the loss of Bill Upton as Unofficial Beat Reporter.
Huron Valley Unified 9, Walled Lake Central 8 (OT).
Temperance Bedford 12, Ypsilanti 11 (OT).
“We went into the second quarter down 5-0,” said Temperance Bedford coach Brandon White. “I just told them that we were going to chip away quarter by quarter, and that’s what we did.
“We gave up a few more goals along the way, but we tied it up with 1:27 left, and then won it two minutes into overtime.”
White could be a sports reporter. Concise little recap he’s got going there.
Ann Arbor Pioner 21, Chelsea 2. 750 members of Pioneer’s team had multi-point days, so it’s not like they were just playing starters to run up the score.
Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard 13, Ypsilanti Lincoln 1. Ray Pressly was the lone scorer for Ypsi.
Portage Northern 8, Vicksburg 1.
East Grand Rapids 13, Holland West Ottawa 7. Matt Gollady had four goals to lead EGR.
Bay City Western 5, Saginaw Heritage 4.
Grand Rapids Catholic Central 10, Spring Lake 9. GRCC led 6-1 after the first quarter, but had to buckle down to hold on for the win.
Lapeer West 14, Bay City Central 5.
Trevor Krehel scored four goals and added three assists for Lapeer West.
“He played well in transition,” Lapeer West coach Bill Krehel said of Trevor Krehel. “(He got) some nice feeds from his teammates.”
Sounds like the coach’s son gets special treatment (I’m kidding!).
Caledonia 11, Holland 5. The game was 4-4 at halftime before Caledonia pulled away.
Grand Rapids Christian 6, Northview 5. DJ VanderBaan’s hat trick and one assist accounted for most of the GRC scoring.
Chelsea 11, Ypsilanti 10 (2 OT).
During the second period of overtime Chelsea’s Sean O’Quinn scored the only goal to claim the win.
Chelsea’s Nick Rosol scored five goals and had an assist; and Joe Olmstead added another three goals and two assists for the team.
“Very proud of how we handled ourselves in overtime. We could have prevented it, but we did well, regardless. It was a much needed win for us,” said Chelsea coach Koengeter.
Nice little comeback victory for Chelsea.
Warren De La Salle 9, Midland Dow 8. De La Salle’s struggles this year perplex me, what with the 765 assistant coaches they have.
Ann Arbor Pioneer 12, Saline 7. UDM-bound Dylan Swanson had five goals and two assists.
Ann Arbor Greenhills 11, Grosse Pointe University Liggett 8.
Dexter 15, Royal Oak 2. Three different Dreanaughts accounted for nearly all the Dexter scoring.
Grand Rapids Christian 9, Holland 3.
Bay City Western double header winnars. Scores of the games might be nice.
DeWitt scored nine goals in the first quarter, and added four more in the third quarter to secure the victory.
Offense in fits and starts, but it clearly works when you double up the opposition.
Rockford 12, Northville 8. The Rams outscored Northville 9-3 in the second half.
Forest Hills Eastern/Northern 17, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s 7. OLSM has endured a really rough stretch in the past couple years. It will be interesting to see if the once-powerful program can rebound.
Saginaw Heritage 14, Swartz Creek 5. Dominic Scola scored five goals for Heritage.
Midland Dow 8, Petoskey 7. Jordan Hempfling made 18 saves for the Charger/Chemic/Whatevers. Impressive performance between the pipes.
What up, ladies.
Bay City Central 8, Anchor Bay 2. Bronson Dault scored three goals for Bay City Central. Is it just me, or is including a kid’s yearbook photo with an article a little on the weird side? I mean, that’s not going to stop me from following suit. But it’s weird.
Hamburg (N.Y.) 11, Brother Rice 10. Brother Rice 14, Bishop Timon St. Jude 13 (2OT).
Clarkston 9, Traverse City St. Francis 4. From the same article: Troy 13, Walled Lake Northern 6.
Girls’ updates from North Oakland sports. This notebook format is really not conducive to my linking style, guys.
