DTV has recently been invited to The CW 46 by Drew Moore to film the talk show Community Wide. While we were there, DTV talked about their new documentary In The Line of Fire and their coverage on The Flint Water Crisis, and what it is like to be High school journalist. The talk show was taped on Wednesday May 10 and aired Sunday May 14, if you missed the show click the link here.
America just went through the worst shooting in history in Las Vegas, this just goes to show that gun violence is something that is still relevant an needs to be discusses. DTV cover the topic of gun violence in our special last year, In the Line of Fire. This topic does’t seem to be going away anytime soon !
America is said to have the most firearms per capita in the world.
In 2015 alone there were 64 school shootings.
After the Sandy Hook shooting the NRA membership surged to 5 million people.
Over the past few months DTV has been tirelessly working on our new special “In the Line of Fire”. This special will be hosted by Jordyn Bruns and talk about gun violence in America. We have reached out and spoken to different people from all walks of life to bring you the arguments on both sides of this subject. A police Chief, a Flint preacher, a Sun Times reporter from Chicago, a Pro-Gun father, and an Anti-Gun activist are the people that make up this story.
Unlike our other specials we decided to tell the story from their points of view because everyone has a different interpretation of this controversial subject. For instance, you will not only hear from the father that lost his children, but also from the father that is educating his kids about the constitutional right that he believes will protect them for the rest of their lives. “In the line of Fire” examines 3 questions:
Is there a gun problem in America?
Why is there a problem?
How do we fix it?
The special will also talk about the divide in our country, laws and government play into this problem. You will have a chance to see how the state laws and restrictions are different from each other. It will also showcase the Congressional Debate going on in the national government between Democrats and Republicans.

After beating the Macomb Dakota Cougars 59-28 in a landslide, the Flushing Raiders are heading to the Breslin Center for the Semi-State Finals on the 17th of March.. DTV aired the game live on Channel 191 and the MHSAA network.
Throughout two critical injuries, and a team that used their bond to keep together during games, the boys and girls basketball season had a ending that seemed to close for comfort.
For the boys team, they had a hot start but when Cade Coleman was injured with a broken ankle, and Jaylen Rutherford following soon after with Turf Toe, they saw a flash of darkness but when Rutherford came back he picked up where he left off. The guys were on a 8 game hot streak, but when they turned to Jaylen for a huge dunk, unfortunately, due to a hard block, Rutherford fell and broke his arm, back came Coleman and picked up some slack of Rutherford’s absence. The guys finished off their regular season 17-4 (9-2 Conference). On March 6th, they traveled to Kearsley High School and took on Saginaw Arthur Hill (12-5) for a district title and took an unfortunate loss 64 to 55.
And for the girls team, they had a struggled start and eventually found an inner bond that brought them closer to victories as the season continued. They finished 3rd in the conference underneath Flint Carman-Ainsworth and Lapeer. They faced Clio in districts and also fell 51 to 40.
Both teams had an amazing season and throughout the fight they remembered how much of a family they are.
Davison Cardinal boys and girls varsity bowling teams have been conquering the lanes with 7 wins combined from both teams. Starting with the girls winning three consecutive championship titles since 2012, followed by a runner-up championship in 2015, and finishing it off with a championship title in 2016. In addition, Taylor Davis won an individual title in 2016 with a score of 479-410. Taylor Davis also bowled a 300 in the state finals last season. The boys have won 2 individual championships by Tylor Greene in both 2010 and 2012. With team effort the boys bowled a 300 game in the conference finals this season. The boys and the girls both have great bonding, which leads to their amazing wins. The boys and girls both continue to win and are going to the state finals this year to bring home another one.
These cards have had a phenomenal season this year, and now they are competing at the bowling state championships. So far the Boys Bowling team is ranked number three in the division and the Girls are ranked number 1. To learn more about the teams and their last competition click here

To kick off this game day week we have a Tuesday double header. DTV will be airing the Girls game live at 6 and Boys at 7:30. Our varsity basketball teams will be playing be Goodrich High school, and here’s what you can expect for the game tonight. Look’s like our lady cards are going to have a tough battle tonight with a season record of 2 and 9 going against a team that’s first in their GAC Red division with a season record of 9 and 4. The Goodrich gals aren’t going to give up a win easily, they are on a winning streak of five games, so good luck lady cards. With our boy’s on the other hand, it looks like the win will come a little easier. Davison Boys are on fire with a win streak of 7 games and a season record of 10 and 1. The Martians should be a little more worried with a season record 6 and 5. Some key players to keep an eye out for tonight will be senior Josh Moriartey, Junior Garret Goyette, and Junior Drew Flemming. These players have really stepped up their game on court with the absence sophomore Cade Coleman. Nonetheless we are looking forward to two great games tonight.
The girls game was neck and neck almost the whole game ending with a final score of 55-46. The boys game ended with a 4th quarter of foal after foal and was also a tight race ending with a score of 53-45
