Red Arrows are District Champs!
Final from Red Arrow Stadium: LHS 35, Caledonia 7. Great work by the defense all night long to keep Cali’s offense out of the end zone. Their only touchdown came on an interception in the second quarter. Rebroadcast of the game at 1 PM tomorrow on Lowell Comcast Cable 20, and again Wednesday on Comcast channel 900 (check listings for time).
Massey ranks Red Arrows #1 in NATION!
Pretty cool. But Coach Dean and the boys know they have to take the season one game at a time. First up: Lansing Everett, Friday night, 7:30. Gates open at 6:00 PM, and everyone pays $5 to get in. If you can’t make it, tune in as I call the play-by-play on WLHS.
Red Arrows – OK White Champs!
Congrats to the Lowell High School Red Arrows on their OK White championship! A convincing 35-12 win over East Grand Rapids gives LHS a 9-0 record heading into the playoffs next week. Playoff pairings will be posted Sunday at 7 PM on MHSAA.com. Go Arrows!
WANTED: Football Color Commentator!
Anyone want to ride shotgun for Friday’s LHS football broadcast? Please send resume and a headshot to the comment section below. Please, someone step forward. I don’t think I can tackle an entire broadcast (no pun intended) on my own.
In honor of Decade Day at LHS
This is what we called a “music video.” We watched them on a channel called MTV, which once stood for “Music Television” but now stands for “Morons on Television”.
Pink Arrow Update
From the Freep, Mick McCabe’s article gets to the heart of the Pink Arrow Project. Keep the Kleenex handy.
Pink Arrow Update
Holy cow! Not a pink t-shirt remains at the LHS Spirit Store or Pep Talk. Word is that Pep Talk will receive 1,000 before tomorrow’s game, but many have been spoken for. If you want one, get to Pep Talk NOW!
Here’s a suggestion for next year: Let’s take this campaign across the OK Conference. Designate one week as the OK Pink Week, and have every sport, in every school, participate in cancer awareness projects. Coach Dean and the LHS football team have kicked off something very special in Lowell – let’s encourage everyone to contribute!
Real Men Wear Pink

Another Big Bang
Listen for it later this week as the most-powerful atom smasher is revved up for the first time. Part of what it’s supposed to do:
The first beams of protons will be fired around the 17-mile tunnel to test the controlling strength of the world’s largest superconducting magnets. It will still be about a month before beams traveling in opposite directions are brought together in collisions that some skeptics fear could create micro “black holes” and endanger the planet.
Column of the Day – Robert Novak’s Cancer
As we begin Pink Arrow week, Robert Novak’s story of his brain tumor diagnosis seems like a timely read.
