Discussion, observations and notes about Swimming and Diving in and around Macomb County

WELCOME



Why do we need a Macomb County Swimming and Diving Blog?

With five divisions and 28 teams (in the MAC), it not possible for one person to keep up with the accomplishments of the athletes and the teams in Macomb County.

This brings up an additional point. I would like this blog to cover the teams that compete in Macomb County. Almost all of the Macomb County based swimming and diving teams compete in the MAC. Therefore, we will be covering some Oakland, Wayne and St Clair County teams as well. We also have De La Salle located in Macomb County, so we need to make sure they are included as well.

I am not trying strictly portray Macomb County Swimming and Diving from only my perspective. To that end, I am looking for contributors from all five Divisions and also from DLS. Even better would be a correspondent from each team that would post a recap of the previous weeks meets, outstanding practices or events.

I will also try to include links to sites that cover Macomb County and MAC sports and Athletes.

Enough for now - I have to go prepare milk and cookies for Santa (yes my boys believe in Santa) - note the first post on this Blog was Dec 24th 2007

please note: this blog has been up for over a year now, and I have never had to moderate or delete comments, until now. I will be happy to return to an uncensored forum, when some of the children that have posted recently, learn some manners.

WOW!

What a first night of Division competition for MAC Swimming.

Let's Start in the Red, where from a prediction standpoint it was a tough night.

Eisenhower proved to have too much depth for Romeo. Derek Raska, Devon Compeau, Tyler Laurain and Mike Elliott did what they were supposed to do for Romeo, but they could not overcome the Eisenhower Eagles, led by Alex Blanzy and Kevin Galerneau and Phil Hohnstadt. Alex, Kevin and Phil led a talented group of swimmers to a 99 - 81 win over Romeo.

GPS vs GPN - Well I got that one right. The point spread was just a little bigger than I thought. Both teams had some very fast swims and even some state cuts, but the performance of the night had to go to GPS's Jordan Long, 276.85 points in diving. Jordan is back on the board after being sick, and it looks like he may follow in his coaches footsteps. Only 58 days to the state finals! Final score GPS 133 - GPN 53

MAC White

Fraser vs Marysville

Well we have had no report so far, that usually means the St. Clair County team won. If so, the home pool (4 lanes) advantage stikes again for Marysville.

Dakota vs Chippewa Valley

This meet lived up to the hype, but as predicted Dakota proves to be too strong for Chippewa.

Dakota 106 Chippewa Valley 80

MAC Blue

Southlake vs St. Clair

Looks like another Macomb County team falls to a St. Clair County Team, but no results posted anywhere yet.

Henry Ford vs Stevenson.

As predicted right here, Ford follows Bill woods lead and defeats Stevenson, 113 - 72

Roseville vs Utica

Utica tries to use that home pool advantage (4 lanes - no diving), but Roseville comes in and wins 52 -42.

Warren Woods Tower vs Lakeshore.

WWT wins 87 - 82 over Lakeshore

LCN vs Cousino

LCN by 15 over Cousino 100 - 85

Marine City vs Lamphere

Oops.

Lamphere 101 - Marine City 84

Sterling Hts vs Lakeview

99 - 82 Sterling Hts

9 for 11 (or 8 for 11 if you take into account I had the SH swimming the wrong school)
