SL pitcher Keller signs with Glen Oaks Community College

Spring Lake pitcher Nick Keller said it would be "a blast' to continue his baseball career first at the community college level, and then possibly at a larger school down the road. Keller has taken the first step in realizing those goals soon, as he signed a national letter of intent last weekend to pitch at Glen Oaks Community College. Glen Oaks, which is located in Centreville, enjoyed tremendous success a year ago in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association standings, clinching the league title with a 24-6 record.

GRSC hosts 8+8 Cruising Rally on Lake Michigan

The Grand River Sailing Club hosted the 24th annual 8+8 Crusing Rally on Lake Michigan during a sun-soaked afternoon on Saturday. A fleet of 12 competed in ideal wind and wake conditions, but the emphasis is on fast cruising. A non-competitive staggered start was used, which is determined by each boat's handicap. The course was determined by the win direction from the northwest, locating the rounding committee boat eight nautical miles southwest. This put the point of sail on a beam reach in both eight-mile directions.

Whitehead defends title at Spring Lake Invitational Tournament

Maureen Whitehead shrugged off miserable conditions and used her wealth of tournament experience - along with some clutch putts - to outlast Collette Hansen and win her second consecutive Spring Lake Invitational championship. Whitehead, who spends her summers in Charlevoix, couldn't quite match Hansen's distance or accuracy, but was steady from tee to green and spectacular with her putter, rolling in several long putts that kept Thursday's Championship Flight final tight until the closing holes.

The Detroit Pistons have chosen Kentucky guard Brandon Knight with the eighth pick in the NBA draft. Knight averaged 17.3 points per game as a freshman last season for the Wildcats.
