Flint Beecher v.s. DEPSA 2017 Class C semi-finals

The boys who are back to back state champions from Flint Beecher High School head to the Breslin Center at Michigan State University again for the seventh time out of eight years today.

This Class C semi-final game will tip off at 1p.m and be a face-off between Detroit Edison Public School Academy with a season record 15-11 and Flint Beecher 21-5.

After DEPSA's girl basketball team won a state title of their own last Saturday, the boys plan to do the same after the defeat of Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central for the advancement of their first state semifinal in school history.

Both of these teams have something to prove today with the Beecher Bucs going for the 3peat they lost their chances at in 2014 and the Detroit Pioneers making history in attempt to bring home their first state championship.

College Stress: Continued

Students on Michigan State's campus are trying to balance their social lives and academics while maintaining a job and planning for their future goals. “Keeping grades up, getting all of your extracurricular in, and finding time to eat, sleep, and have friends; it’s a lot of stress to fit all of that into 24 hours,” MSU senior Colin Lesoski said. Most students are going through some of the same stresses and can relate when they talk about some of the major differences they faced transitioning from high school to college.  The work load just seems impossible and some students feel that professors just don't care. There are huge lectures containing about 400 or more students and one professor can only do so much for a person unless you're in their office begging for extra credit every week.  To destress and keep from pulling their hair out, some students have gained daily routines of their own that relaxes their ner...
