Soccer played a big role in the Lower Peninsula on Tuesday, as the reigning Division 2 girls champion fell in a one-goal game to another of Oakland County’s best, and mid-Michigan continued to mourn one of the builders of boys soccer in the area who was lost over the weekend.
After a brief break, “Today” will return May 8.
Each weekday during the school year, we’ll gather and post media links covering the most significant and intriguing high school events from all over the state.
