KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The presidential election is less than a month away and some people are already voting, but everyone around here is talking about sports.
The Detroit Tigers are in the postseason, the Detroit Lions are winning and so are the Chicago Bears. The Michigan Wolverines are the defending football national champions.
Sports was also on the mind of local elected officials this week.
It was one of the big topics at this week’s Portage city council meeting because Portage Central and Portage Northern high schools go head-to-head this evening, both with 4-and-2 records playing for a spot in the postseason.
Council member Jihan Young.
It was also a big topic at the Kalamazoo Public Schools board meeting last night, because both Loy Norrix and Kalamazoo Central high schools also have winning records and are shooting for the playoffs.
Superintendent Darrin Slade.
Trustee Patti Sholler-Barber says sports can be a powerful motivator for some kids to stay in school.
Sports may not be as important as politics, but they are a lot more fun.
Kalamazoo Central High School plays Battle Creek Central High School, and Loy Norrix High School takes on Gull Lake High School tonight.
