Winning never gets old Gabriel Richard teams keep piling up the victories Hank Minckiewicz Riverview Register Writer

On the campaign trail in 2016, candidate Donald Trump told followers that Americans were “going to get tired from all the winning.”

Over at Gabriel Richard High School, they know that is nonsense. You never get tired of winning. And the Richard faithful are the ones to ask.

Since charging to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state baseball title last spring, the teams dressed in burgundy and white have won and won and won.

Last fall, the Pioneers won the Catholic League Intersectional-1 Division title and went to the league championship game where a late blocked field goal was the only thing that kept them from the CHSL title.

The Pioneers then qualified for the MHSAA state tournament for the fourth time in the past five years. In the postseason, Richard beat Detroit Central and archrival Cabrini to win a regional championship before seeing the season end.

When the season turned and the weather began to get cold, Richard teams stayed hot. The boys basketball, boys bowling, girls bowling and hockey team all won championships.

The basketball team was dynamic, winning 17 regular-season games and claiming the Catholic League Intersectional-1 championship. Richard lost in the first round of the league playoffs, but that did little to slow them.

The Pioneers rushed into the state SEE WINNING, Page 26

Drew Adams and the Gabriel Richard hockey team won three straight playoffs games to win another regional championship and reach the MHSAA Division 3 state quarterfinals.

FROM THE DESK OF THE MAYOR

Citizens of Riverview, take action – volunteer My fellow Riverview residents let me first say how proud I am to serve as your Mayor. It is not only challenging but very rewarding. Although we’re a small town we have the same issues and accomplishments as our larger neighboring communities. One of those challenges is inspiring our fellow residents into action. It is not a secret that volunteerism is on a decline not just in our city but across our nation. Riverview has several organizations that could use your Andrew Swift talents. Maybe I can convince you to take a break from social media for a while and lend hand to someone who needs it.

As small as our community is, we have a large number of civic organizations, clubs, groups, commissions and churches that would love to have you involved. A list of commissions can be found on the City of Riverview web-site.

One such group that I’ve been a member of for the last 15 years is the Kiwanis of Riverview. Our club was founded in June of 1967. In 2017 we celebrated our 50th Anniversary that included inviting all former and current members to a fun filled birthday party.

We celebrated the thousands of children and families we’ve helped over the years.

So you will have a better understanding of who the Kiwanis are and how you can share your talent to benefit our community I will try to detail the structure of our club and what we do Under the direction of our current president, Ms. Diane Kinlen, and vice-president, Matthew Dominski, we’ve grown our club in membership and sponsorships.

Most Kiwanis clubs are made up of anyone from professional business men and woman to married couples to single parents who want to give back to the community where they live. Our club is no different except for one thing.

The Kiwanis Club of Riverview in its effort to be a truly community-based

organization has enlisted the help of our high school and middle school students.

At Riverview Community High School we sponsor the Key Club. This club, under the guidance of Ms. Kim Degenkolb, provides its members with the opportunities to serve, build character, and develop leadership.

The Key Club does their own service projects along with supporting their sponsoring club. Thank You Kim for all you do for our students.

Newly established this school year is the new Builders Club at Seitz Middle School. Ms. Megan Frost has accepted the position of sponsor for the club.

She has been very instrumental in recruiting members and instilling the Objects of Building Leaders. Those objects are, (1) to provide opportunities for working together in service to school and community, (2) to develop leadership potential, (3) to foster the development of strong moral character, (4) to encourage loyalty to school, community, and nation. Thank you Megan for sharing your time with our students.

If all goes well, the plan is to have a K-Kids club at each of the elementary schools. These club members attain skills in each core area through participation in the research, planning and implementation of community service projects. The core areas are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

The Kiwanis of Riverview are quite busy throughout the year. Here is a list of most of the projects we do throughout the year.

Easter dinner food baskets, spring food drive, spaghetti dinner, cereal drive, Top 10 Student Recognition Dinner, Kiwanis Scholarship, Kiwanis Michigan State Police Academy Scholarship, Rosco the Clown at Summerfest, School Lunch Program Aid, the Dictionary Project, Coats for Kids, peanut sales, Thanksgiving food baskets, Downriver Prayer breakfast, Christmas Caroling, are several programs or functions that we either sponsor or participate in.

Stepping out in style!

Chamber black-tie expo excites guests with Oscar theme Paula Nueman

Scott Tremper of Downriver Community Federal Credit Union receives the Chamber of Commerce Ambassador of the Year Award from the Chamber President Ron Hinrichs and Director of Membership Services Jessica Pinto. Kemper is the credit union’s vice president of marketing and community development.

Riverview Register Writer

Fifty or so diverse businesses — small, large and nonprofit — showed their wares and services to about 300 elegantly clad people at the annual Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber’s Black Tie Gala and Expo Feb. 8.

The event has an Oscar theme, which didn’t disappoint, said chamber President Ron Hinrichs.

“People seemed very excited,” he said. “They came in black tie and ball gowns, and that’s exactly what we were hoping for.

Vendors also played along with the theme.

Community Publishing & Printwell had a photo setup where people could hold an Oscar statuette and have their picture taken, and Sterling Office Systems of Livonia had a 3D printer set up and they were printing little Oscar statuettes.”

About 15 restaurant also offered sumptuous fare for the party-goers.

The three-hour event, held at Crystal Gardens in Southgate, offered everyone a chance to dine, mingle and network, which is the intent of the expo, formerly held by the Downriver Community Conference and Downriver Metroplex Alliance. It used to be a three-day affair held at Yack Arena in Wyandotte.

The chamber took it over, and in 2018, moved it to Crystal Gardens after “reassessing the needs and desires of our membership,” Hinrich said.

And the event’s afterglow, featuring a live band, was “just a blast,” he added.

Award winners from the expo are:

• Best Chef Presentation: Grosse Ile Golf & County Club • Best Appetizer: Beaumont Trenton • Best Entrée: Whiskeys on the Water • Best Dessert: Smugglers on the River • Best Booth: Sterling Office Systems • Best Multiple Booth: Monroe Bank & Trust • Best Interactive Booth: Downriver Community Federal Credit Union

Riverview residents LouAnn and Tim Durand attended the Chamber Black Tie. Tim, a former Mayor of the city, works at Wayne County Community College District.

RCHS teacher named Michigan Teacher of the Year by VFW Paula Neuman

Riverview Register Writer

Her students normally see Minchon Lince walking up the and down the rows of seats in the classroom five days a week as she teaches them social studies at Riverview Community High School.

She assigns them papers to write, and they groan and roll their eyes, like students everywhere. But Lince is more than a commonplace teacher, and her classroom is more than ordinary.

Often, especially when she encourages her kids to talk about current events, they really think about the subjects at hand, light up and participate. And when they talk about wars in class— an inevitable part of learning about American and world history — she Lince invites veterans to come talk to the students, to share experiences first-hand about their military service and about the issues that affected them when they came home.

Lince, who since 2001 has been teaching in Riverview, where she herself grew up and went to school, is appreciated by her students — and by the veterans who are members of the VFW, as well.

She’ll advance to national competition in April.

“Over the years, this remarkable teacher has had numerous former students return to visit her,” wrote David Beauchamp, a member of VFW Post 1136 in Wyandotte and chairman of the post’s annual Voice of Democracy contest. “They tell her how much they loved her class and how wonderful of a teacher she is.”

He wrote those words in a letter nominating Lince for the Voice of Democracy Teacher of the Year contest. She won the honor for District 4, and then she went on to be named VFW Teacher of the Year for the entire state of Michigan.

She’ll advance to national competition in April.

“Students from Ms. Lince’s class have expressed the importance of learning our Constitution and freedom it grants all of us, a privilege that most other countries do not have,” Beauchamp wrote.

The contest also honors students, who first write a two-page paper assigned by Lince on the theme the VFW has chosen for that year, and then — if students choose to go further — they record a video of themselves reading their essays. That video is judged

by VFW members.

“I usually have between 40 and 50 entrants every

year,” Lince said. “I ask them if they want to go above and beyond.”

Or students can enter the contest through artwork illustrating the theme, she said. Her kids don’t always win, although she had one win twice at the district level and go on to state competition.

But it’s about learning more than winning.

“Out of all the disciplines in school, I think it’s social studies that really targets the character of the kids,” Lince said. “It’s about the things that make students reflect on themselves and world and not repeat the mistakes. I think these kids are more in tune with current events than I was as a teenager.”

She earned her bachelor’s degree in political science at Albion College, her teaching certificate at Eastern Michigan University and her master’s in teaching and learning through Nova Southeastern University in Florida.

As a college student in 1988, she spent four months in the Middle East, studying the PalestinianIsraeli conflict, and in 1989, she completed Officer Candidate School for the U.S. Marine Corps in Quantico, Va. She declined her commission after graduating.

“At first, she questioned her decision, but after just a few years of teaching, she knows she made the correct decision,” Beauchamp wrote.

CITY OF RIVERVIEW Shred your documents for free The Riverview land Preserve will sponsor and host a free shred dare for residents of Riverview, Grosse Ile, Brownstown, Trenton, Woodhaven and Wyandotte on on Saturday, April 13.

This is a free drive-thru event and a perfect opportunity to shred confidential paper materials such as receipts, bank statements, medical records and tax documents. All documents will be securely shredded on-site. Shredded paper will be recycled.

Each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 7,000 gallons of water and 4,000 kilowatts of energy – enough to power the average home for six months.

Thank you for doing your part.

The event will be held rain or shine and there is a limit of three boxes of shredable material per household. No businesses, please.

Rubber bands, paper clips, staples and folders do not need to be removed. No binders, please.

Stay at Home Care LLC has been helping the elderly and disabled in the privacy of their own homes for 7 years. The business started as a result of both co-owners Brenda Rademan and Diana Cain having Diana Cain & Brenda Rademan difficulty finding the means to care for their own parents at home.

“You speak with the owners; we aren’t a franchise like the rest of them.” said co-owners Brenda and Diana.

When talking about your loved ones, there is nothing worse than dealing with impersonal care.

Riverview, Michigan - The Board of Education of Riverview Community School District is proud to announce the successful sale of its 2019 School Building and Site Bonds, Series I in the amount of $6,775,000 as authorized by the voters of the School District on November 6, 2018.

The 2019 School Building and Site Bonds, Series I, will be used for the purposes of erecting, furnishing and equipping an addition to the middle school building; remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and reequipping school buildings for safety, security, and other purposes; and preparing, developing, improving, and equipping playgrounds and sites; and paying the costs of issuing the Bonds.

In preparing to sell the 2019 School Building and Site Bonds, Series I, the District, working with their municipal advisor, PFM Financial Advisors LLC, requested that S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard and Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) evaluate the District’s credit quality.

S&P assigned the District the underlying rating of “A+” with a stable outlook. The rating agency cited the District’s mature local economy with good incomes and strong market value per capita; recent trend of general fund operating surpluses contributing to strong reserves; historically stable enrollment and low-tomoderate overall debt burden, in their rationale for rating of the District at this level.

“We are pleased with the results of the series I bond sale,” states Riverview Community School District Superintendent Dr. Russell Pickell. “The hard work and sacrifices made to reverse the drain on our fund balance and provide stability to our finances in recent years has helped us improve our overall financial rating, and, therefore, improve our interest rate. This will save our taxpayers money while still allowing us to meet our building needs.”

The District’s financing was conducted by the Michigan investment banking office of the brokerage firm, Stifel, the financial advising firm, PFM Financial Advisors LLC and the law firm serving as bond counsel, Thrun Law Firm, P.C. The District’s 2019 School Building and Site Bonds, Series I, were sold at a true interest rate of 2.70% with a final maturity of 2033 (a repayment term of approximately 14 years).

Brodie Killian, Managing Director with Stifel states, “Riverview Community School District’s Bonds were sold at an opportune time in the bond market. The District was able to enter the bond market after a recent decline in interest rates.

The financing met the goals of the District and resulted in a cost of borrowing that was considerably lower than originally anticipated.”

Long-time elected official named to high school Wall of Fame Joseph Palamara has public service in his blood.

He’s been an elected official representing Downriver since 1984.

Joseph Palamara, a resident of Grosse Ile, has been named to the 2019 Roosevelt High School Distinguished Graduate Wall of Fame for his decades

of public service.

In 1998, he was elected to the Wayne County Commission, where he currently serves as vice chairman.

He also serves on the commission’s committees of Ways and Means, Economic Development and Public Services. The district he represents

comprises Grosse Ile Township, Wyandotte, Ecorse, River Rouge, Gibraltar, Riverview, Southgate and Trenton.

Palmara was first nominated for the Wall of Fame by former Southgate Mayor Norma Wurmlinger, another Wall of Fame inductee who graduated

from Roosevelt in 1949. That was a few years ago. More recently, Palamara was nominated for the honor again by former Wyandotte Mayor James Wagner.

A devoted family man, Palamara and his wife are parents to Lauren, Lance and Samantha and grandparents to four.

McLouth cleanup continues; violations addressed and handled, officials say The long, involved demolition and cleanup of the former McLouth Steel site in Trenton led to violations of asbestos removal recently, but those issues have been addressed and public is not at risk, said state Rep. Darrin Camilleri.

Camilleri represents the 23rd District, which includes Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Huron, Trenton, Woodhaven and Brownstown, his hometown. During a recent coffee hour the representative held in Woodhaven, some people asked questions about the violations and the cleanup, he said.

“People are still watching what’s happening there,” Camilleri said. “I think a lot of people are still concerned. The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) have indicated that they’re satisfied.”

The cited violations took place during the removal of contaminated materials, and involved friable (easily crumbled into a powder) asbestos.

Evans is the newest chamber board member

People are still watching what’s happening there. I think a lot of people are still concerned.

The former McLouth site is now owned by Crown Enterprise Inc. and MSC Land Co. LLC. The owners hired 1st Century Salvage and Next Generation Environmental Inc., to do the demolition work.

The violations were discovered Jan. 22 by MDEQ monitors, Camilleri said.

The agency has stated that it found no air pollution due to the violations.

Mechanical air monitors on the site have not detected problems.

Camilleri urged residents to be observant as the demolition and cleanup continue for the next few years.

“If people see issues, they can contact my office, the MDEQ and EPA,” he said.

Have McLouth questions? Ask EPA The Environmental Protection Agency will be in the Downriver area on March 25, 26, and 27 as well as April 9, 10, and 11 to speak with residents and local business owners about the cleanup of the former McLouth Steel facility.

If you have questions or concerns about the facility and its cleanup, please contact EPA contractor Meg Moosa at 440-688-4006 or meg.moosa@tetratech. com to schedule a 30-minute appointment that is convenient for you, daytime or evening. We will be stationed at the Trenton Veterans Memorial Library, located at 2790 Westfield Road in Trenton.

Community interviews provide the basis for a Community Involvement Plan to help the Agency handle concerns and keep residents, businesses and local officials informed and involved in the cleanup.

Visit www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-community-involvement for more information on EPA’s community involvement process or www.epa.gov/superfund/mclouth-steelfor more information on the McLouth Steel site.

A little background about the Nike Missile site New Riverview resident Sean says: My wife and I just moved here from Ohio and noticed the bump in the ground where the kids play soccer between the City Hall and the Riverview Fire Station.

My neighbor told me that the area was once a NIke Missile site.

He said there was a missile and a plaque located Gerald Perry there and that you could tell me more.

Thanks for the opportunity, Sean.

Your neighbor is correct, that area was a former U.S. Army Nike Missile site.

To give you a little history of the site, if you notice there is a large farm house near the site. This was once the Vreeland Farm home built in 1876.

The farm consisted of many acres on both the north and south sides of Sibley Road, formerly known as Mud Street. The farm remained basically the same for many years with the exception of some of the acreage being sold off.

In the 1950s, the Soviet Union was thought to have nuclear-weapon equipped bombers and was a perceived threat to the areas around Detroit, which was known as the Arsenal of Democracy.

In response, the U.S. Department of Defense developed a surface-toair rocket called NIKE and deployed this defensive weapon in a number of places around the United States.

Twenty-five acres of the Vreeland Farm was purchased by the U.S. government where they built a rocketlaunching site called Riverview, Michigan Site 54.

The missile you see near the fire station is an unarmed nuclear training rocket called the Nike Hercules.

It was never part of the stockpile of rockets located in Riverview. A smaller rocket called the Nike Ajax was deployed in the Riverview location.

The launcher part of the base is the large bump in the ground you see in the soccer field area. It consisted of six silos, each 120 feet long, 60 feet

Nike Ajax missiles

wide and 20 feet deep. Five of the six silos are still there under three feet of soil and grass. The sixth silo was demolished and buried.

There is a cinderblock building on the sire, now called the community building. During the 1950s, it was the bunkhouse for soldiers, complete with beds, a kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The Riverview base, built in 1055, was deactivated in 1962. The entire 25 acres was given to the city of Riverview with the stipulation that it always remain in use as a recreational area.

On a sad note, after the site was given to the city it became an off limits, but attractive place for kids to play. However, electrical service to the site - through to have been deactivated - was not and a young lady was electrocuted there.

The city built the fire station on the site in deference to the agreement with the U.S. Government and was forced to buy more of the Vreeland Farm land of offset the area that the fire station now occupies. The site is now home to ball fields to the west of the Vreeland Home.

An interesting side note: The area that is now occupied by Rivergate Nursing Facility on Pennsylvania Road was the headquarters and Radar site for the whole Nike complex.

That was also given to the city of Riverview in 1962 and late sold to the Rivergate company.

Hope this covers in the information you were looking for.

Sam Dorn leaves her mark on RHS athletics

As she completes her senior year at Riverview High School and prepares to move on to Concordia College in Ann Arbor, Samantha Dorn will be remembered as one of the finest student athletes in school history.

In college, Dorn will play basketball – the sport in which she left the biggest mark in high school. In February, the four-year varsity team captain became the sixth girl in school history to reach 1,000 points in her career on the court.

This season alone, as the Pirates were heading into the state playoffs, Dorn was leading the team in scoring (18.1 points per game), rebounds (4.8) and steals (3.4) and was second in assists Dave Gorgon (1.7).

She’ll earn another All-League award, is likely to appear on some All-State ballots and will be named the team’s most valuable player.

Dorn, 17, credits the guidance she’s received from her coaches, participation in a strong Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) program, her teammates and hard work.

“I get in the gym a lot and work hard every time I’m in there,” she said. “There’s no sense in getting in there and not giving it your all.

“Sam certainly does have some gifts from God,” said Riverview varsity Coach Rob Sauter. “She just plays really hard and just has a drive to win. She’s a very well-rounded player and she’s very, very coachable.”

By all accounts, she’s just as impressive off the basketball court. At 4.24, Dorn has one of the highest grade-point averages in school. She’s a member of the National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Cuts for Kids and two mentoring groups: Pirate Pals (for elementary pupils) and Connection Club (for freshmen).

She also has starred for the Pirates in volleyball and soccer and will earn a school record 13 varsity letters by the time she graduates, including one for freshman track and field.

“Sam is a very special girl,” Sauter said. “Her family is really into serving. They have very strong faith in their church (Living Faith Chapel in Riverview). They are about service and helping others.”

Mom Mimi volunteers as team photographer, taking pictures at every game and creating posters for the players. She also shoots senior class photos and teaches at Trenton Christian Preschool.

Dad Rick, a former college baseball player in North Carolina, is a long-time high school athletic director (New Boston Huron, Waterford Mott and Kettering and now Frankel Jewish Academy in West

Bloomfield). He also has coached the Pirates when they play fall basketball and referees scrimmage games.

“Sam has worked really hard,” Rick Dorn said. “She’s a really hard worker. We’re pleased with what she’s done, not only in basketball, but most importantly in the classroom. She’s been phenomenal.

“We’re pleased with all three of our children, of course. Sam has really risen to the occasion. She’s really busy, but we’re really proud of her. Her big sister (Halee) set an example for her. Her younger brother (Kolby) will have his hands full following in their footsteps.”

Samantha said being close to family and her church was one of the prime reasons she chose Concordia. Family members will be able to watch her play. And she’ll be able to get home to watch her sister and brother play sports. Halee is a freshman volleyball player at Henry Ford College. Kolby has played sports at Seitz Middle School and will be a high school freshman in the fall.

And, of course, her parents and siblings will be able to watch a majority of Samantha’s games.

Dad Rick helped instill the importance of such fundamentals as shooting and dribbling in Sam’s early days of playing.

She started playing recreation basketball and for the sixth-grade team at Christ the King, followed by middle school, AAU and high school. Everyone involved credits Factory Basketball, a summer

program featuring many of the best players in the state, with making a big difference.

“Factory Basketball did a great job with Sam,” Rick said. “She went from being a solid player to a good player. The teams they played against had top 10 players in the state – all Division 1 level players.

That can’t do anything but help you get better.”

High school coaches Sauter and Matt Scharboneau “are great,” he added. “They help with development.

They always open the gym for any of the girls. They really go the extra mile.”

Not everybody is selected as a freshman team captain by her teammates. After getting over the shock, Dorn said she tried to lead by example.

“I put my heart into everything I do,” she said.

“There was a lot of pressure on me, but it was also a good opportunity.

“I pride myself with being a versatile player. I can play most positions. Being able to dribble and shoot and get to the rim and play defense – being able to do all of that. I’m 5-9, too. Using my height is good.

“I also pride myself on my basketball IQ. That’s a big thing for high school basketball.”

Dorn said the Pirates’ team concept is important.

“It’s been extremely important over the years,” she said. “I’ve realized you can have individual success.

But, overall, you’re winning as a team and you’re going to do everything as a team. I’ve really enjoyed my teammates.”

Seitz girls basketball team posts back-to-back perfect seasons Hank Minckiewicz

Riverview Register Sports Writer

Riverview girls varsity basketball coach Rob Sauter has done a fine job of really reviving the program since returning the the bench several years ago.

The Bucs are fun to watch, they play well together, they really seem to care and they win a lot of games, And here is a prediction for you to write down. In the coming seasons, they are going to be more fun to watch and they’re going to win more games - perhaps many, many more games. Why? Because, although the program does not need rescuing, the cavalry is on the way.

For the past two seasons down at Seitz Middle school, 7th-grade coach Derrick Dibrano and 8thgrade coach Tom Hughes have been shepherding an amazing group of young players who are now just one step away from high school.

In 2017, as 7th graders, the group went 12-0. This year the team went 11-0. They missed the 12th win because weather wiped out that game.

That’s 23-0 over the course of two seasons and Sauter knows they are coming. “None of their games have been close,” he said.

Hughes disagrees, saying his team’s 15-point win The Seitz eighth-grade girls basketball team is, Jada Willis, (front left) Melisa Dama and Janelle over Milan was a lot closer than the score indicated.

The Riverview boys bowling team was solid all day long at the Michigan High School Athletic Association regional hosted by Huron High School at Town and Country Lanes in Westland Feb. 23.

In the end, Riverview’s consistency led the team to a second-place finish and a berth in the Division 2 state championship.

In the end, the Bucs finished behind only regional champ Tecumseh and and 40 pins ahead of Huron League rival and regional host Huron. That’s significant because in the state finals on March 2, Huron would beat Tecumseh in the final match to win the state title.

At state the finals, hosted by Century Bowl in Waterford, Riverview finished 10th in team qualifying, missing the finals by a mere 49 pins.

Richard dominates Grosse Ile to win regional title The Gabriel Richard hockey team came out flying in its regional title game against Grosse Ile on March 2 and never landed, scoring a resounding 6-1 win over the Red Devils and advancing to the Division 3 state quarterfinals.

The title the second straight regional championship for Hank Minckiewicz the Pioneers, who last year advanced all the way to the Division 3 state semifinals before falling to Livonia Churchill.

Against Grosse Ile, the Pioneers dominated from the first drop of the puck, although the Devils did a good job of limiting good scoring chances and Grosse Ile goalie Carter Pattenaude stood on his head on the early going.

Despite outshooting Grosse Ile 11-1 in the opening period, Richard found itself in a scoreless tie at the first intermission. During the early minutes of the period Pattenaude stopped two point-blank one-on-one chances from Richard players.

Later in the period, Richard did everything but score on a power play. During the two-man advantage, Richard took three shots, hit a goal post behind Pattenaude and somehow missed a wide open net.

That changed in the second period when the Pioneers scored five times, including a back-breaking twice in the final minute.

Richard finally got on the scoreboard early in the second period when Nathan Vasquez charged down the ice and let go a hard shot that got past Pattenaude. The Grosse Ile goalie got his stick on the puck, but it seemed to overpower him and wound up in the back of the net.

It was the first of three goals Vasquez would score in the game and, strangely, seemed to spark Grosse Ile a little. In one of their few periods of sustained pressure in the game, the Red Devils carried the play to the Pioneers for several minutes.

Richard soon took a penalty and Grosse maintained pressure through the man advantage, but could not get one past goalie Drew Adams.

The score stayed 1-0 until just about 5 ½ minutes remained in the period and then the roof fell in on coach Jason Durbin’s Red Devils.

A bad line change by Grosse ile led to Richard’s second goal. As the Devils were scrambling on and off the ice, Richard hit a long pass to Jake Emery, who went in 2-on-0 with teammate Chase DeSana. Emery’s pass in front was perfect and DeSana tapped it in for a 2-0 lead.

A minute later, Austin Harrison took another long breakout pass and cruised in on Pattenaude. He skated

across the front of the net, fired the puck back to his left and scored.

Stunned, Grosse Ile looked like a team hoping to hold on to the end of the period, but Richard was not about to let up.

With 50 seconds to play, Gavin Fink carried the puck deep into Grosse Ile territory and dumped in it front where Vasquez was waiting to slam it home. If the Devils had any hopes of stopping the bleeding, they were dashed when Vasquez scored again 27 second later. This time DeSana assisted.

The buzzer finally sounded ending the second period, but the damage had been done. Although Grosse Ile managed nine shots in the period, they surrendered a staggering 18 and the five goals would prove to be too deep a hole to dig out of.

In the third period, DeSana netted his second of the night during a Richard 5-on3 advantage. He was assisted again by Emery.

Grosse Ile broke up the Adams’ shutout minutes later when Cody Keenan scored on a nice pass from Chris Mihai.

The final shots on goal favored Richard 36-19.

Richard and Grosse Ile each had to win two games to reach the regional championship. Grosse Ile beat Riverview 1-0 and Wyandotte 5-2.

Richard knocked off TemperanceBedford 2-0 and Monroe St Mary Catholic Central 5-4.

With the regional championship in hand, the Pioneers advanced to face Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard in the Division 3 state quarterfinals on March 6.

DORN Continued from page 21 She is especially tight with the three other seniors on the team: small forward Karmyn Cartrette, a four-year varsity player and one of the Pirates’ top defenders; and centers Gabby Rolak and Nicole McMath, both in their third year of varsity ball.

As this season moved on and it was clear Dorn could reach 1,000 career points, her teammates “were super supportive.” Going into a late-season game against Milan, she needed 27 points to reach the goal.

“My teammates kept getting me the ball,” she said.

Dorn wound up with 28 points in that game and the team celebrated the milestone with her.

Heading into the playoffs, Dorn had 1,057 points, including 363 this year. Coach Sauter said she makes 40 percent of her shots from the field and 80 percent of her free throws.

Sauter, who is in his second run as varsity girls coach and has coached high school ball for 19 years overall, said Dorn and her teammates are responsible for

The junior varsity team was 15-4 this season. The eighth-grade team has gone undefeated. Both speak well for the future of girls basketball at Riverview High School.

The varsity girls “have helped plant the seed to get kids to want to play basketball,” Sauter said. “A lot of that has to do because we have success and the way we play is kind of fun to watch.”

Being a three-sport athlete, Dorn focused on basketball when it came to her college search. She took part in “exposure camps” where she was scouted and then recruited by a variety of interested colleges. She said Concordia showed the most interest.

“It came down to how far it was and how bad they wanted me,” she said. “The coaching staff and the people there are awesome.”

The coaches at Riverview will look forward to Dorn’s further success on the basketball floor.

“I’ve just been very, very privileged to be able to coach a girl of that moral fabric,” Sauter said. “She’s everything you’d ask for out of a student athlete. It’s just been a blessing to coach her the last three years.”

Individually on March 2, two Pioneers placed in qualifying, but neither was among the top 16 that reached the finals. Taraszkiewicz missed making the finals by seven pins in the boys draw and wound up 18th in qualifying. Among the girls, Probe was 20th.

Richard get over the hump, wins district crown

The 2019 district championship Gabriel Richard boys basketball team.

Hank Minckiewicz Riverview Register

The Gabriel Richard basketball team has made a habit of reaching the Michigan High School Athletic Association district finals in recent years. This season, they took it a step farther, beating Ecorse 60-50 on March 1 to win a Division 3 district championship.

The Pioneers were later eliminated from the start tournament in the first round of the regionals on March 5 by Erie-Mason, but that did little to take

the luster off the teams district win.

Playing on their home court, the Pioneers battled all night long against the Red Raiders. The home team trailed the entire first half. Ecrose led 10-7 at the end of the first quarter and 23-19 at halftime.

But after the intermission it was an inspired Richard team that took the floor.

Richard outscored the Raiders 18-8 in the quarter, which included an 11-2 run that electrified the Pioneer crowd.

Senior Matt Silka, who missed much of the season with injury, and fellow

WINNING Continued from page 1 playoffs and after a close, two-point win over Taylor Prep, the Pioneers routed Cabrini and then beat a good Ecorse team to win the district title.

It was an over-the-hump moment for coach Kris Daiek’s Pioneers, who reached the district finals in 2018 and 2017, only to lose close games each time.

Ecorse tried to rally in the fourth, but every time the Raiders tried to make a run, senior Garrett Balazsi was there with an answer. The cocaptain led his team with 15 points, 11 of them in the fourth quarter.

In addition to his 15 points, Balazsi had eight assists and seven rebounds.

Christmas Tournament, which is always a focal point on the schedule, and then rolled onto the MHSAA playoffs where they won three straight games and claimed another regional championship.

The Pioneers beat Temperance-Bedford, Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central and Grosse Ile to claim their second straight regional trophy.

The win over Grosse Ile as especially impressive as the Red Devils, a league champion and a 17-win team, came into the game on a bit of a roll. But Richard dominated them from the start, outshooting the Devils 11-1 in the first period, 36-19 for the game and winning 6-1.

In 2018 the Gabriel Richard bowling teams were impressive as both the boys and girls squads finished second at regionals and qualified for the

Elam finished the night with 10 points and seven boards. Silka and Mike Holdsclaw each finished with eight points and Holdsclaw grabbed nine rebounds, most of them in the frantic final quarter.

“Our kids really responded,” Richard coach Kris Daiek said. “Our seniors stepped up and played some great basketball.”

To reach the district championship game, Richard crushed archrival Cabrini 72-18 in the semifinals. The Pioneers opened postseason play by holding on for a 59-57 victory over Taylor Prep in the first round of the state tournament.

Ecorse had an easy time cruising to the district final as the Red Raiders overpowered Dearborn Advanced Tech 71-37 in the first round and then outclassed Detroit Universal Academy 82-19 in the semis.

In the regional semifinal, a 4736 loss to Erie-Mason at Whitmore Lake High School, the Pioneers fell behind early and were in danger of being blown out. The Eagles led the Pioneers 25-11 late in the second quarter, but the Richard team dug deep and went on an 8-0 scoring run and trailed just 25-19 at halftime.

Richard scored the first two baskets of the second to make it a 12-0 scoring run and cut the lead to 25-24, but that was as close as the Pioneers would get. Mason wound up outscoring the Pioneers 18-9 in the third period and 9-8 in the fourth.

Mason, which improved to 23-2 with the win, advanced to the regional finals to face Detroit Loyola.

state finals.

The teams were even better this season.

Bowling at Ten Pins Alley in Tecumseh, both the Richard boys and girls won MHSAA regional championships.

The boys rolled 3,763 to easily outpace secondplace Trillium Academy (3,442) and Manchester (3.400), while the girls edged Catholic League rival Madison Heights Bishop Foley, 2,734-2,721.

In addition, Richard had one boy, Stasiv Taraszkiewicz, and three girls - Hannah Sauve, Alyssa Wladysiak and Chelsea Probe - place among the top 10 individuals at the regional.

The old saying is: Success breeds success, and the high school over on Pennsylvania Road seems to keep proving that season after season.

Riverview girls beat Allen Park is district opener Hank Minckiewicz Riverview Register

The Allen Park girls basketball team came out in the first quarter of a game on March 4 and figuratively punched Riverview in the nose.

Playing in the first round of the Michigan High School Athletic Association district tournament at Allen Park, the host and Downriver League champion Jaguars pounded the ball inside, used their physical nature and built a 12-3 led through the first five minutes of the game.

Then Riverview put up its dukes and hit back.

The Pirate defense smothered the Allen Park inside game, they rained down three-point shots down on the Jags and Samantha Dorn was unstoppable as she paraded to the free-throw after being fouled driving to the basket time and again.

After falling behind early in the game, Riverview outscored Allen Park 26-5 over the rest of the first half and led 29-17 at halftime. In the second half, it was more of the same as the Riverview lead grew and the Bucs eventually won 50-31.

Afterward coach Rob Sauter explained his team’s slow start.

“Allen Park is a tough, physical team,” he said. “They push you around and teams get intimidated by them and fold. We didn’t fold. It took awhile for us to adjust, but we are tough mentally.”

Trailing 14-10 at the end of the first quarter, Riverview came out and tied it quickly. A three-point shot by Rayah Kolbusz knotted the game at 17-all and less than a minute later, a triple by Kylie Skidmore gave the Bucs a lead they would never relinquish.

From that point in the game until just under two minutes remained in the third quarter, Riverview held Allen Park, which came into the game riding an eight-game winning streak, scoreless, while the Bucs’ lead grew.

Sauter said that in each of the past four seasons Riverview has drawn the Downriver League champion in the first round of districts. This year was no different. Riverview lost to the DRL champs in each of the last three seasons. The year was different.

“There were a little bit of nerves as the start of the game,” Sauter admitted. “This group had never won a district game. Now they have and I am so proud of them.”

seitz

Continued from page 22 “It was like a six-point game most of the way,” he said. “They were right there and it seemed like they could pounce.”

That game helped point out the depth and versatility of this team. Milan has a very good player and she was responsible for many of that team’s wins this year.

But Hughes turned Chloe Craft - a newcomer to Riverview this season - loose on her and she stopped her cold.

“She is the guttiest defender you can imagine,” Hughes said. “She shut that girl down.”

Craft has paired nicely this season with the team’s top offensive player the past two seasons, point guard Elyssa Kincaid.

“Elyssa is the whole package,” Hughes said.

But what makes this team special is not just a great player or two, but a complete starting five, any of whom is likely as good as the opponent’s best player.

Hughes admits it’s an embarrassment of riches.

The other starters are Maddie Chase, Cady Kaminske and Megan Rogers.

“Any one of them can quietly kill you. They are all really great players,” Hughes said. “Every one of the starting five has a high, high basketball IQ. They all have an unselfish streak and really play as a team.”

That’s something that will go a long way on the varsity as Sauter has fostered a real “team-first” attitude there and substitutes frequently and in bunches.

Bucs bow out of MHSAA state tournament The Riverview hockey team said farewell to the 2018-19 season on Feb. 25 when the Bucs fell in a firstround Michigan High School Athletic Association state playoff game, 1-0 to arch rival Grosse Ile.

high school will fit in well with Sauter’s style of play. The varsity team likes to play at a frenetic pace and the Hughes said his team is guard orientated and likes to play that way.

The rest of the team joining Kincaid, Craft, Kaminske, Chase and Rogers heading to the high school are Melisa Dama, Ariyana Davis, Janelle Roberts, Sabella Justice, Lauren Salisbury and Jada Willis.

Because the Riverview varsity has a good number of returning players there will be some decisions to be made. Will there be a 9th-grade team? If not, will Sauter opt to keep the freshmen together as a group on the junior varsity? Will one make the varsity? Two? Maybe more?

Regardless, the future of Riverview girls basketball is bright,
