Gaylord – As winter weather intensifies in northern Michigan, high school winter sports season is beginning to end.
The MHSAA Wrestling playoffs are underway, with teams and individual state finals ongoing in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, hockey, basketball and skiing join wrestlers as soon as the second high school sports season begins to end.
The Gay Road Area team has been taking action all week despite the cold and snowy weather making travel difficult. The results you may have missed are:
Wrestling: Three Gay Rodlessers win regional titles, four will compete in the state finals at Ford Field
Basketball: Yes, there’s a rivalry here. Gaylord defeated Petoskey in the series with a third straight win
