Davison Cardinals Defeat Rockford Rams

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (1/20/2021) – The Davison Cardinals are officially going back to Ford Field for the second time in a row. It was just last year the Cards defeated Sterling Heights Stevenson in an intense overtime with a final score of 34-27 leading them to compete in the state final.

This time around it was not that tough for the Cardinals, even without their All-State Quarterback Brenden Sullivan. Dion Brown Jr is taking the Quarterback position very well so far and has a total of 248 Passing yards, 3 Touchdown Passes, and no Interceptions so far on the season. You can tell his intelligence on the field is what Coach Weingarzt has been talking about since Brown took over the Quarterback position a few weeks ago.

The Cards managed to hold themselves together, in part because of their incredible defense, but of course, their offense also played a part too. Davison is looking to win another state title against West Bloomfield. They play at 1 p.m. Saturday January 23rd at Ford Field. You can catch the game on Fox Sports Detroit. DTV will also be there to keep you updated on our social media pages.

State of Michigan plans on charging Ex-Governor Rick Snyder

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (1/12/2021) -Several breaking news stories came out today regarding the Flint Water Crisis, including information leaked about possible charges against Rick Snyder and others of his office, the settlement for victims, and the McClaren Flint hospital dealing with legionella for a decade:

Rick Snyder’s possible charges:

Information has surfaced about criminal charges against Michigan ex-governor Rick Snyder and others surrounding the Flint Water Crisis, via the Associated Press. Anonymous sources from the Michigan Attorney General’s office, say that the former governor and other members of his administration will be officially charged.

More information is expected to be announced this Thursday, but for now, the specific charges are not yet known. 18 months ago all charges were dropped by attorney general Dana Nessel, and a new investigation was launched after new evidence surfaced.

The Settlement:

641.2 million is the total amount of compensation coming to the victims of the Flint Water Crisis. As of November 17th, the City of Flint, McLaren Regional Medical Center, and Rowe Professional Services have agreed to settle the massive class-action lawsuit.. 80% of the 641.2 million will be given to the children of Flint for injuries and illnesses caused by lead-tainted drinking water in the city.

Legionnaires Disease outbreak cause:

New Information reveals that McLaren Flint Hospital has had cases of legionella bacteria growth for more than a decade. Legionella is a pneumonia type bacteria that causes Legionnaires disease. In recent years it has made headline after headline while being associated with multiple deaths in the Flint Water Crisis. However, a report that WJRT-ABC12 uncovered that was created by the CDC states that McLaren had Legionella bacteria in its water since 2008, six years before the Flint Water was switched. 13 months after this report was made it was released to ABC12 through a former state health director. Legionella was detected in Mclaren’s water again in 2017 and 2019 in places like ice machines, shower heads, and even faucets. Of 90 cases reported in 2014-2015, the common thread was McLaren. Then, from January 2018-June 2019, 5 people who contracted the disease, including 2 that died, were believed to contract it from McLaren as well.

Karen Weaver, the former Mayor of Flint, said this over Twitter:

Dr. Mona, one of the prominent doctors throughout the Flint Water Crisis, made this statement on Twitter about all of this new information:

Davison Football wins back-to-back Regional titles; moves onto Semi-Finals against Rockford

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (1/9/2020) – The Davison Cardinal football team has won their second regional in a row beating out a tough opponent that is Detroit Catholic Central.

After Davison’s star quarterback Brendan Sullivan stated he won’t be playing in the rest of the playoffs after the second shutdown, a player who is known as a wide receiver took his place.

Sullivan couldn’t continue playoffs because he graduated early to continue his football career at Northwestern, resulting in Davison’s #1 taking his spot, Dion Brown Jr.

Brown threw for two touchdowns and 151 yards, getting the W the Cards needed to continue to semi-finals.

Looking at the defensive side of things, senior Harrison Hunger contributed massively to the Davison win.

Here are the highlights of the Davison vs. Detroit Catholic Central MHSAA D1 Regional game:

Davison will be playing against Rockford on the 16th of January at 1pm, the location is yet to be announced.

This will be Rockford’s first semi-finals appearance since 2012 while it’s Davison’s second in a row.

The last time these teams played was in 2010 and resulted in a loss for the Cards, 10-27.

And Davison lost at every other three meetings they’ve had:

2007: 21-27

2008: 19-20

2009: 13-38

DTV will have highlights of this game on our YouTube Channel DTV News

Good luck to both teams!
