Trojans prep for another tourney run

With just a handful of regular season games remaining, the Trenton softball team, which went all the way to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 state championship game last year, is virtually assured of another 20-plus win season.

Trenton recently split a doubleheader with Ottawa Lake Whiteford, a team that played in the MHSAA Division 3 state final last year. Trenton lost the first game 3-0 and won the nightcap 5-4. The victory over Trenton’s 18th of the season against just nine losses.

The MHSAA playoffs are right around the corner and the Trojans will make the short trip over the Grosse Ile free bridge to begin the postseason in a district hosted by the Red Devils.

The stage has been set for the opening tournament and it lines up this way:

On June 3, Grosse Ile will face Flat Rock at 10 a.m. Following that game, Trenton will face Riverview at noon. The championship game will be played at 2 p.m.

The district champion will move on to regionals at Trenton and face the winner of the Pinckney district.

Pinckney, Adrian, Tecumseh and Chelsea are the teams in the Pinckmey district
