Davison JV Powerlifters win national championship

by

KILLEEN,TX (DTV) – (03/27/2026) – The Davison JV Powerlifters have put the program on the big stage after the boys dominated and claimed the title of the 2026 national champions! The girls also had an impressive showing at the national competition in Killeen Texas finishing in the top 5 with 3rd place! Davison also won the combined overall team championship.

“The kids are working so hard. And it’s really cool to see everybody come together this far from home.” said powerlifting coach Zachary Wagner, who is lovingly known as “Coach Wags” 

Up next is the varsity members who started competing early Friday morning. Keith Wheeler took 3rd in his weight class at nationals. Tori Schumacher, Mackenzie Arden, and Bella Keasler all finished in the top 10 but did not medal.

“The mindset is always, you know, kind of what the mindset is in every Davison athlete. We’re going to compete, we’re going to drive, and we’re going to show the world what we got.” said Coach Wags.

This is only the 4th year of the program and Coach Wags says he is going to continue pushing these powerlifters forward not only in powerlifting, but in life. 

“My message to the kids has always been, what does it take to break you? And it’s a Nick Saban thing. And so just because something happens to you on the last play, it can’t affect the next play, it can’t affect the next lift. And I tell these kids that, you know, yes this is for powerlifting, and yes Nick Saban is a football coach. And yes, you know this is all sports and that, but in life that’s going to happen to you. You’re going to be on your way to work and you’re going to get a flat tire. Does that ruin your week? You know, what does it take to break you? Don’t let it break your focus. Don’t let it break your concentration. Stay focused and stay in gear. And really, that’s what our focus is with these kids. And when you do that, great things are happening and it’s showing and it’s really cool.”

Cass Tech vs Detroit Catholic Central for MHSAA Football State Finals

by

DETROIT (DTV) – (11/30/25) – Ford Field is bright and warm on this cold November night for the MHSAA football finals. The last game of the night was against two 13-0 teams, Detroit Catholic Central and Detroit Cass Tech.

Last year Cass Tech took DCC out in the semifinals, winning 17-14 in Techs closest game of the season. The technicians came into this game looking to win another state championship, and the DCC shamrocks were ready for redemption.

The first score of the game was about five minutes in from DCC wide receiver Gideon Gash. After a timeout on 4th down, he slipped through Cass Techs walls for a 47-yard touchdown. The kick attempt was no good, putting DCCs Shamrocks in the lead 6-0. Neither teams defense let up for the rest of the quarter.

Cass Tech started the second quarter unable to score. DCC senior and wide receiver Samson Gash made multiple long runs. With 3 minutes left in the half, senior Joshua Peters capped off the drive and scored a touchdown, putting DCC up 13-0 going into halftime.  

Coming out of halftime refreshed and pumped, the shamrocks continued to dominate with an interception from senior Beckett Glynn, quickly followed by a 37-yard touchdown from Gideon Gash.

Cass Tech’s Peyton Robinson tucked and rolled under shamrock Lindon Bojaj, nearly scoring a touchdown catching a long pass and after replay he was ruled down at the one. Julian Taylor ended up giving Cass Tech their first score of the game with a 1-yard touchdown capping of their scoring drive.  

The score was 20-7 heading into the final quarter. DCC made a field goal and scored another touchdown, followed by a Cass Tech touchdown from Corey Sadler Jr. Tech’s 2-point conversion was no good. Gideon Gash scored another touchdown, followed by the final score of the game from DCC senior Benny Eziuka on an incredible interception return for the defensive linemen.  

Cass Tech got the last score of the game from William Sykes Jr. with 14 seconds left. Detroit Catholic Central won the game 42-19, making up for last years loss in the semifinals and ending a fantastic game.

MHSAAs football finals were supported by the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. Before the game and between quarters, ads for student aid programs played, reminding players of what’s to come. Many seniors are playing football for the last time. The ride home for both teams will be bittersweet, as friends and brothers remember the highs and lows of high school football, and both teams lose key players.

Jaxson Dosh’s Quarterback Dream

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (10/3/2025) – The opportunity to play Davison football means more to senior Jaxson Dosh than you may think. Being the quarterback is not just a passion of his, but a life long dream he has had since he was a kid. And now that he has this position, it’s not about personal glory. He has his eyes set on something bigger!

Student life balance

by

DAVSION (DTV) – (6/5/2025) – Like a good track runner, Natalie Luttermoser, a junior at Davison High School, never slows down even in her personal life.

“So, of course, I do school every single day and then every day. Well, not right now, because we’re on a break, but I do pom, we do practices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, unless there’s competition. Then we add Wednesdays and Saturdays, and then I do work on weekends, and then I work on Mondays and Wednesdays at gymnastics down in downtown Davison.” said Natalie. “And then I work at Davison Dairy Queen on the weekends. And then in my free time, I tend to babysit at home.”

Even though Natalie is a pretty busy student, she still makes time for the things she enjoys.

“I spend time doing homework. I spend time just playing games with some of my friends, and then I like to go outside and go and run sometimes.” Natalie said.

Between school, hobbies, and work, Natalie can quickly find herself overwhelmed, but she finds ways to work around her issues and find the fun in them.

“Honestly, it’s just… you have fun with it.  You schedule everything right before, like, not even right before, you schedule something about a week out from what you have to do, and then you have fun with it.”, said Natalie.

It is important to enjoy what you do, but it’s also important to not over-schedule yourself. Students may not realize that they are doing a lot of activities, but are overbooking themselves.

“Sometimes we’re imbalanced a little bit and we don’t realize why we’re being imbalanced, but it’s really because, hey, we were texting for 2.5 hours out of the day. That’s a long time, right? And that could be more productive in a different way. But we also need to make sure that we’re having fun and that, you know, we’re enjoying ourselves as well.” said Amy Hyrman, Davison High School counselor.

Some tips for enjoying being a teen, is to experience the social, sporting and cultural aspects of being a student.

“You really have to look in our ownself, like, do we have enough time in order to get all of those things that we have going on accomplished? And if we don’t, what do we need to dial back?” Said Amy Hyrman.

It is recommended that students take personal time and enjoy themselves with not only things they enjoy, but also work on stuff that is necessary for student life development.

“Don’t do things that will make others happy. Make stuff in your schedule for stuff that will make you happy.”, said Natalie.

Mr. Beamer and the “Real Men Wear Pink” Campaign

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (10/02/2024) – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Davison’s own Mr. Beamer is supporting the fight against breast cancer by competing in the “Real Men Wear Pink” Campaign.

His goal for this year is to raise $2,500 for the American Cancer Society. To support Mr. Beamer you can go to the “Real Men Wear Pink” website HERE.

Another way to support him is by going to Hilton Screeners and buying one of his “You don’t have to be this cool to wear pink” t-shirts for $10. A portion of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Be sure to wear these shirts to the Pink Out Game against Grand Blanc on October 18th.

Beamer says his reason for supporting the cause and wearing pink is, “Breast cancer affects everyone – it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why I’m stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I’m in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I’m helping to save more lives from breast cancer.”
