We are down to the district finals now for girls basketball teams and for some hockey teams, regional finals after another thrilling night of action on Wednesday. Strange that a Wednesday is so busy with stuff other than wrestling, but that must mean the playoffs are in full swing. Got to love it. Here are your seer's 3 stars for Wednesday. Third star Micaela Ellis, Ferndale Somewhere, the late and great Joe Mahan is smiling. His Eagles made it to a district final thanks in large part to Ellis, who scored 27 points in an easy win over Detroit University Prep. Second star Jacob Howard, Troy hockey - It is one thing to score the game-winning goal, but it is quite another to do it in a playoff game with no time left on the clock to give your team a win. Must have been quite a celebration for Howard and the Colts. First star Sammy Nardicchio, Orchard Lake St. Mary's hockey - Hopefully Nardicchio is given a nice ovation in class on Thursday because he is the biggest reason OLSM is still playing. He had two assists and scored the game-winning goal late in the third period to give the Eaglets a 4-3 win over Brother Rice.
