GOLF: Celso 2nd at Regional, Qualifies for State Tournament

Saline junior Grace Celso shot 77 to place second in the MHSAA Division 1 girls golf regional at Salem Hills Golf Course Monday and qualify for the state tournament.

It's the second straight trip to the state finals for the all-region golfer.

"What a performance by Grace. This was her best round of golf. She was so focused and performing awesome both mentally and physically. Grace has fought injuries over the years and she is back to being healthy. I am so happy for her," coach Debbie Williams-Hoak said.

Senior Jordan Wickham finished her career with an all-time best 83 to finish tied for 10th. She missed qualifying for the state tournament by just two strokes.

"This was Jordan's last tournament and it was great to see her play well and shoot her career low," coach Williams-Hoak said.

As a team, the Hornets finished 10th. Payton Aagesen shot 101 - just one shot off her career low. Sophie Elston shot 112 and Katie Brodsky shot 114.

I wonder what it would cost the city to withdraw from authority all together? To service only the city limits of Saline may be a simple task and require far fewer people. The police can be cross trained to work both law enforcement and fire safety. Does the City of Saline own the building and the fire trucks?

Interesting. So, it would seem the Board's earlier decision, a decision facilitating the data center, afforded residents a mechanism to have their voices heard and to potentially stop the unwanted data center. The Board has now reversed that decision to deny citizens that very right to with they are entitled.
