Sports Shorts Davison senior bowls consecutive 300s
Season winding down for Davison girls BY MICHAEL SELECKY 810-452-2632 • mselecky@mihomepaper.com
MIDLAND — With the playoffs laying just over the horizon for the Davison varsity girls’ basketball team on Feb. 27, coach TJ Fischaber has his team peaking at just the right time and it showed on Monday, as the Lady Cardinals took out non-conference rival Midland Dow, 41-34. While the confines were anything but friendly, Tori Bellamy and Kolbie Brow were still able to get past the adversity to put up 11 points each for Davison, Mariah Ferris had eight points and Morgan Hitchcock scored four. Kendall Densmore was also in the mix for the Lady Cardinals with three points, scoring two apiece were Lauren Leach and Brooke Graham and playing solid
defense was Leela Leach, Hayley Gabriel and Theresa Dray. In what doubled as the Lady Cardinals’ final home game of the 2011-12 regular season, Flushing came to town last Friday for Davison’s second-to-last Big Nine varsity girls’ basketball contest ever and got beat, 49-39. In a well-rounded effort that featured nine players making their way into the scoring charts, heading up this effort for the Lady Cardinals was Brow with 12 points, Lauren Leach had 10 points and scoring seven was Bellamy. Hithcock was also on her game for Davison with six points, Brooke Graham scored five, and coming through with a four-point showing was Mariah Ferris. That just left Densmore and Gabriel with two points each and Dray scored one.
DAVISON — Tylor Greene has bowled more than a dozen 300 games in his life, but never two in a row — until last Saturday. The Davison High senior rolled consecutive perfect games in the Saturday Strikers league at Rollaway Lanes, becoming the second bowler to accomplish the feat in that house. Ben Smock was the first in 1992. Greene started his three-game series with a 256, and his 856 series is the second highest in Rollaway history, behind the 866 rolled by three bowlers. Bowling on lanes 7-8, Greene said every shot was in the pocket and there were no close calls. Tylor Greene “My arm was feeling the best it has all year,” he said. “I’ve been having problems with it and wearing a brace, but it was just really smooth and loose.” Greene has “10 or 11 sanctioned 300s” and several non-sanctioned ones, but he never thought about two in a row. “I wasn’t thinking at all,” he said. “I thought about it around the seventh frame, but I wasn’t really thinking I was going to do it because it’s pretty much impossible. When I got to the 10th frame, I was like, wow, I’ve got a chance.” Greene averages 234 in the league and carries a 220 average for Davison’s boys’ varsity team, which is ranked second in the state in Div. 1. — D.N.
Thomas aids Bruins’ OT win BOSTON — Tim Thomas made 19 saves during regulation, then two more in a shoot out, to help the Boston Bruins take a sorely-needed, 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators last Saturday. The Bruins had lost their previous two home games and were coming off their worst loss in four years, a 6-0 defeat at Buffalo on Feb. 8. “It’s our job to build on this,” said Thomas. “I think we played a much better game and we found a way to win again.” The Davison native had relieved starter Tuukka Rask at Buffalo after the backup goalie had surrendered three goals on 10 shots to the Sabres in 22 minutes. Thomas allowed the other goals on 19 shots, but Rask took the loss. Thomas is still fourth in the NHL in save percentage at .931 and eighth in goals-against average at 2.18 for the Northeast Division-leading Bruins. — D.N.

Pro football coming to Flint area FLINT — The Stars Football League has announced that its second season will be kicking off in the spring. In addition to several new teams, one of the previously established franchises, the Michigan Coyotes, will be relocating from the Pontiac Silverdome to Flint’s Atwood Stadium for the 2012 season.

Jr. Generals tickets discounted for food drive FLINT — The Flint Jr. Generals hockey team is reaching out to help feed struggling local families by hosting a canned food drive during their Feb. 29 game with the Metro Jets at Iceland Arena, 1160 S. Elms Rd. Faceoff is 7:20 p.m. Fans will receive $1 off game-day admission for each donated canned good, with a limit of two cans per person. Items collected will be donated to The Salvation Army Beecher Corps pantry to provide needed food for the approximately 150-180 families who visit the pantry each week. The need is great in Genesee County as one in three children are living in povert —a 25 percent increase since 2005—and more than half of local children are raised in low-income households that qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches, according to the 2011 Kids Count Data Book. The Jr. Generals hosted a food drive in November, collecting nearly 350 pounds of food and $163 in cash donations. — D.N.
Just to clarify.... FLINT — Several high school and alumni hockey tournaments taking place in the area have caused a bit of confusion. On March 23-25, Flint Iceland Arena, 1160 S. Elms Rd., is offering a High School Alumni Hockey Tournament for those 18-30 and 30 and over. Cost is $650 per team and there will also be T-shirts issued to the winning team. Because of USA Hockey rules, $100 of entry fee will go back to each school’s athletic department. Details: www.flinticeland.com. On April 20 at Ice Mountain in Burton, the second annual Mid-Michigan High School Alumni Tournament benefits the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan and MI Youth Hockey Scholarship Fund. This tournament had 12 teams last year and brought in upwards of 14,000 spectators.

MIDLAND — The Davison boys’ basketball team swallowed a two-point, 61-59 loss against Midland Dow on the road Tuesday. Davison remains at 4-1 Big Nine, 10-7 overall in second place behind Carman-Ainsworth, 5-0, 11-5. Flint Powers is 1-4, 5-10 and Flushing is 0-5, 1-15, in the last season of the Big Nine. Midland led by six, 20-14, after the first quarter, but Davison cut the deficit to 33-31 at the half. Midland Dow returned the favor in the third, though, regaining the lead, 50-45. The two teams battled hard with Davison outscoring Dow, 14-11, in the final frame, but still came up just short.

Lance Arnold led wtih 26 points, while JC Carrizales and Jacob Moreno each had nine points. Last Friday, the Cardinals edged out Flushing, 47-43, with Arnold leading the charge with 16 points, Carrizales reached double figures with 11 and Moreno had seven. Davison led, 13-6, after the first quarter and 21-11 at the break. An even 1010 third quarter left Davison with a comfortable 10-point lead, 31-21, which it would need as Flushing staged a late comeback charge with a 22-16 fourth quarter, but it just wasn’t enough.

Davison competes at Public League showcase BY MICHAEL SELECKY 810-452-2632 • mselecky@mihomepaper.com
CHELSEA — In preparation for a host of season-ending challenges that includes playing Flushing/CarmanAinsworth at Iceland Arena this Saturday for the final Big Nine varsity hockey title ever, Davison took part in the Michigan Public High School Hockey showcase last weekend at the Arctic Coliseum. While being the 23rd ranked team in the state for Div. 2 according to the United States High School Hockey Organization would have seemed to bode well for the Cardinals coming into this event, the rest of the field was just and talented and instead sent Davison home with a pair of losses. Last Friday, this two-day event started for the Cardinals against 24th-ranked West Bloomfield, which took early control by jumping out to leads of 2-0 and 3-0 at the end of the first and second periods on its way to defeating Davison, 6-1. It was at 15:17 and 5:17 of the opening session that West Bloomfield got things going offensively, setting up the squad’s third goal at 6:31 of the second. Things didn’t get any better for Thursday, February 16, 2012
Davison in the third, either, as West Bloomfield scored at 13:38 before posting a power-play goal at 10:24 to make it a 5-0 game. That’s when Steven Stull finally got the Cardinals on the scoreboard at the 9:28 mark with a little help from Alex Dunckel, but instead of launching a comeback, West Bloomfield answered at 5:56 to go up 6-1 and never looked back. On the other side of the equation for Davison David Arterburn started the game in net and made 15 saves on 20 shots before getting pulled at 6:36 of the third, allowing Jake Rye to step in and swat down four of the five shots he faced in a little over 10 minutes of playing time. What that set the stage for was a matchup last Saturday with East Kentwood, the 23rd-ranked team in Div. 1, and while the Cardinals did play a strong opening stanza, they still wound up getting downed, 6-3. Opening the scoring for Davison at 13:36 of the first period unassisted was Josh Hill, setting up Brandon Pirtle to make the score 2-0 on passes from Stull and Dunckel at 5:38. It was a much dif-

Adaptive therapies and equipment put disabled back in action LISA PAINE 810-452-2626 • lpaine@mihomepaper.com
GRAND BLANC — Any time an individual suffers a debilitating injury, their first reaction is denial, then cognitive/emotional hurdles set in that often lead them to think that the activities they had enjoyed inside and outside are no longer an option. Adaptive equipment, training and rehabilitation can put them back on the ski slopes, onto sled hockey teams and back out hunting and fishing. Golf, tennis, kayaking, track and field, swimming, biking, hiking and running are all still very much a possibility thanks to the special equipment that makes it possible to become active again. “Integration is huge in getting them to realize that they can still take part,” said Sophia Bongo of STARrehab. “There is a lot of cognitive and emotional recovery that happens along with the physical. This weekend alone, we had so many different events going on with the Sled Dogs ice hockey, I myself was refereeing the quad rugby in Chicago, and we also had weightlifting, powerlifting, lacrosse, running, and all kinds of sports events taking place.” Bongo explained that throughout the area—and state—disabled athletes are actively taking part thanks to the programs available. “We have coaches and refs through the Paralympics and there are really no limits as to what they can do indoor to outdoor and winter to summer,” Bongo said. “When people first get hurt, they don’t want to accept that the injury may be permanent. Then we can start to address the options available to them once they recover emotionally.” Several examples are an avid hunter

In the third, Davison continued to skate hard, but poor defense and too much individual offensive play led to East Kentwood going up for good at 16:19 and 15:26 unassisted.

Bongo noted that they also have several staffers on multiple boards including William Bickers on the board for Michigan Sports Unlimited, as a spinal cord injured individual. Others are involved with the Michigan Adaptive Sports Coalition and Thunder in the Valley, a well-renowned athletic competition. Tim Davis is a double amputee veteran, who is now refereeing for US Paralympics. “It’s not just the sports, but the leadership roles that are also available,” Bongo said. “A lot of people don’t realize that after the emotional hurdle and body image is concurred, you have to overcome the physical and financial obstacles.” “For many, finances are limited, but if finances is the issue, we take that out of the equation,” added Bongo. “Sharina Jones, Ms. Wheelchair Michigan, is a power lifter. Hunting, refereeing, pageants, we support all opportunities.” Another adaptive athlete grabbing the bull by the horns is Adam Rose, soonto-be 18, who is the youngest competitive hand cyclist and now competing for a spot on the United States Olympic team. The scholarship monies, $3,600 given to each client, makes a big difference in helping get them back into the mainstream. Special golf and hunting chairs, golf guns, modified fishing, compound bow and firearms equipment, along with sporty wheelchairs, adaptive running prosthetics and more are just a fraction of the gamut available that is putting individuals back in the game of life.
