Predictably, the polar vortex kept most students out of school and sports Wednesday – but we do have one exciting finish to report and a pair of headliners to share that we previously missed.
Hockey: Kyle Burke had a hat trick including the game winner in Dexter’s 4-3 overtime victory over Chelsea – Chelsea Sun Times News
Also of note …
Gymnastics: From Saturday, Farmington United won the 18-team Jeanne Caruss Invitational at White Lake Lakeland – Observer & Eccentric
Boys Basketball: From Tuesday, Engadine’s Andrew Blanchard went over 1,000 career points in a big win over Big Bay de Noc – The Upbeat
Thanks, Mr. Woodley (Saginaw News)

LaMarr Woodley was a football star at Saginaw High long before he went on to the University of Michigan and now the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He's given students in his hometown the same opportunity for accomplishment without the cost they would've otherwise incurred this school year.
Students at Saginaw and Saginaw Arthur Hill plus the districts junior highs and middle schools were facing a $75 participation fee until Woodley stepped in earlier this month with a $60,000 donation.
Hugh Bernreuter has covered the majority of Woodley's career, and tells this story.
