Eastern has won three and lost three, but two of the defeats came at the hands of Five-A foes.

The other three local teams have yet to win their first game. St. Mary has lost its two starts. Resurrection its first three, and Everett has dropped all four games to date. Swimming and wrestling, however, make the local picture somewhat brighter, as Eastern tankers have taken a top spot in the state with victories over East Grand Rapids and Saginaw Arthur Hill, and Sexton's grapplers easily pinned Jackson in its only start in defense of its state title.
