You could think of it as the rubber match between two of the state’s best baseball teams the last few years. It was the third time in the last three years that Clarkston and Brother Rice have met in post season action. Each team had one once, Clarkston two years ago and the Warriors last […]
It was no secret that Clarkston headed into its district tournament as the favorite. So there was no real surprise to see them come out of the bracket as champions. But how they went about it was a bit surprising to say the least. The Wolves turned a few heads and turned away Ponitac Northern, […]
Clarkston coach Phil Price said the state baseball tournament is wide open with no real favorite that everyone is aiming to beat. The same couldn’t be said for his team’s district.

A district title is on their minds, but so too is the health of two of their best players. The Clarkston varsity softball team are the odds on favorite to win their district, according to coach Al Land, but perhaps a more pressing issue is the health of two of his players in Heather Giroux […]

LaBrosse, who served as an assistant for several years and head girls cross country coach for the Wolves, helped lead the Wolves to their second straight league title ? well, almost. The Wolves still need to finish in third […]
There’s little doubt in the minds of Tami Niemi that her team would have won its game against Andover, but she’ll have to wait another few days to see how it really turns out. The Clarkston girls varsity soccer team was up 2-0 on May 13 at the Clarkston High School Soccer Field, but rain, […]
