Fordson lands three-game skid
The week for Fordson’s women’s basketball team began with a brutal 61-32 defeat at Brighton on Tuesday, December 20 in what was an east-west KLAA crossover battle. The 32 points scored by the Tractors was their lowest total in a game so far this season. The Bulldogs’ 61 points were the most Fordson allowed this year.
The defeat at Brighton also extended the Tractors losing streak to three games at the time, having opened the season with a 3-0 mark.
However, Fordson picked up a well-deserved victory before the holidays. The Tractors hit the road two nights later and took a 41-36 victory over Livonia Stevenson in their KLAA East opener. While the offensive uptick was marginal, the Tractors’ defensive performance came after allowing an average of about 53 points per game during their three-game losing skid.

Annapolis drops to 1-5 with losses to Crestwood, Thurston
Annapolis capped off the 2022 calendar year with a 50-27 loss to city rival and WWAC foe Crestwood on Thursday, Dec. 22 at home and it continued what has been a rocky start for the Cougars this season.
Two days earlier, Annapolis suffered a 41-27 conference loss on the road to Redford Thurston.
Overall, it’s been a challenge for Annapolis (1-5, 1-3 WWAC) to put points on the board. In six games, the Cougars are averaging around 26 points per game, which has unfortunately resulted in lopsided losses, as their average margin of loss is also around 26 points.
Annapolis will be looking to get back on track when they visit WWAC foe Garden City on Tuesday, January 10. Three nights later, the Cougars will visit rival Robichaud for another conference game.

Three local women’s basketball teams played just one game last week before Christmas. Dearborn Advanced Tech Academy, Edsel Ford and Robichaud were all in action on Tuesday, December 20, and each team was on the wrong end of a lopsided scoreline.
