DAVISON (DTV) – (2/8/22) – After a surprise 5-day break packed with snow, Davison athletes are right back at it this week. Let’s dive into another week of cardinal sports – hopefully without the side of the fluffy white stuff like last week.
Monday
The lone competitor on the first day back is the hockey squad, looking to find some momentum in their season after a massive 8-0 win against Manistee last week. The guys are hosting Tawas for a 5 pm faceoff time.
Tuesday
The first of two SVL doubleheaders is against a Powers squad that always gives the Cards a good game. The girls will tip off at 6 pm while the guys will follow at 7:30 tentatively.
Last year the girls blew the lady chargers out of the water in a 60-34 season-opening win, while the guys were on the losing end of their matchup in an 11 point loss.
Wednesday
The wrestling season is already heading into playoff season, hosting the MHSAA districts meet here at DHS with the time TBA.
The hockey squad is out for their second of three games this week, taking a road trip to Midland for a 7 pm faceoff with the Chemics.
Friday
The second basketball doubleheader of the week starts with a 6 pm matchup between the Lady Cards and an accomplished Grand Blanc squad. The Lady Bobcats are heading into this one with a solid 8-4 record, with mixed results last week after a loss to Midland Down and a blowout win at Lapeer. Meanwhile, the Lady Cards are sitting at 6-7 as of Monday, with a similar-looking week last week ending in a win and a loss in the books.
The guys are looking to avenge their playoff loss last season to the reigning state champs. The story is a bit different this time around, with some big holes left by departures being filled for the Bobcats this past offseason. They’ve managed an 8-4 record with plenty of tough opponents lined up so far, riding a 6 game win streak into this week. The Cardinals are looking to bounce back from a 2 game losing streak, with only a handful of games to get their 4-8 record towards the .500 mark. They’ll tip off following the girl’s game, tentatively at 7:30 pm.
Saturday
With a great stretch of meets behind them, the girl’s cheer squad has another SVL opponent on their radar this weekend. They’ll be heading to Lapeer High over the weekend, competing in an invite with the time TBA.
The wrestlers will be back at it, heading to Lapeer for individual districts with that time TBA.
The boy’s bowling squad is looking to defend their SVL crown yet again, competing in the SVL finals at Monitor Lanes. They’ll be hitting the lanes at 1 pm.
It’s back-to-back gamedays for the boy’s basketball squad, making a road trip out to Pontiac for a 1:30 tipoff with Notre Dame Prep.
To round out the week, the hockey squad is capping off their 3 game week at Hartland Arena, taking on Fenton at 6 pm.
Good luck to all the squads heading out to compete!
