Thompsonville, MI — Friday the Scots traveled north to Crystal Mountain to start what is planned to be a new tradition for the team, the Caledonia Invitational. "The weather at home has just not cooperated, we have only been able to hold two conference races and I wanted more for my skiers so I looked into moving our final conference race to Crystal Mountian but there were scheduling conflicts with most of the teams in the SWMSC. At that point, I decided to book the race and invite a group of teams that we race against during the season. Plainwell TK was the only conference school that could make the date work and we were excited to introduce them to the Invitational experience and enjoy racing with Benzie Central, Onekama, Maple City Glenn Lake and Grand Rapids Christian---which is a pretty tough field of teams. GR Christian qualified both of its teams for the State Finals and there were a bunch of State Finals Individual qualifiers on the teams that attended the race. Our main goal was to make sure that everyone's JV or B Teams has one more chance to race and we were successful."

Belmont, MI — "We were invited to the Wooden Shoe Tuesday and we have been so busy I wasn't sure if the kids were up to racing in it or not so we had a meeting and the response was an enthusiastic yes! The only thing that I heard was that a few of my guys were competing in the Regional Robotics competition and were a little bummer that they could not be in two places at once (they took second and are going to States---Yeah!)." Coach Petrosky " It is exciting to work with athletes that love their sport and want to race. We had just returned from a long trip and they have a dance later today but they showed up and did their best when they could have said they didn't want to race and slept in on Saturday knowing we are heading back north Sunday to train all day for Regionals---these kids are dedicated"
