Friday was a glorious day for high school students around the area, given for most, if not all, it was the last day of school before a two-week break for the holidays.
However, don't think that this means it'll be two weeks where hardly any high school sports will take place.
That is not the case at all.
In fact, high school athletes will still be plenty busy over the next couple of weeks even though they won't be in school.
This week will feature some interesting contests, such as Novi Detroit Catholic Central vs. Birmingham Brother Rice in hockey on Wednesday and Troy Athens at Clarkston in a boys basketball game on Thursday. Athens will also host Oxford on Tuesday in what should be a competitive game.
Then after Christmas Day, Birmingham Detroit Country Day will play host to the annual Motor City Roundball Classic, which features teams from around the county, the state and even the Midwest competing in a five-day event where each boys and girls team will play at least two games.
Add the fact that other schools are hosting holiday tournaments/invitationals in their respective sports, it's further proof that high school athletes won't be resting on their laurels even though school will be out until Jan. 3
