Countywide Athletic Highlights
New Boston Huron’s girls soccer squad secured a convincing 4‑0 win over Airport in the Division 2 District semifinals, a performance that not only underscored the team’s depth but also cemented its place among the state’s top ten.
Freshman forward Lillie Susewitz opened the scoring, while senior Miley Skamiera added two goals and an assist, driving the offense with a blend of speed and precision that left the opposition scrambling.
Coach’s tactical adjustments paid dividends as the Chiefs controlled possession and limited Airport to few clear chances, finishing the match with a clean sheet that highlighted the defensive cohesion of the side.
The victory sets up a district final showdown against Adrian scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday, a rematch that promises another fierce contest as Huron looks to translate its early‑season form into a championship.
Beyond soccer, the Monroe County region saw standout displays across other sports: Cam Fairchild tossed four hits and shut out Ida in a 3‑1 baseball win, while Noah Banas drove in four runs during a 13‑0 triumph over Airport; Lily O’Dell went 4‑for‑4 at the plate, and Aubrey Miller hit her first varsity home run in a 4‑2 victory over Milan.
Peyton Welch threw five no‑hit innings for Blissfield, and Julia Hughes captured both hurdle races, including a school‑record 44.9‑second run in the low hurdles at the Larry Steeb Memorial Meet of Champions.
These performances reflect a vibrant athletic landscape in the county, where teams from Dundee, Ida, Whiteford, SMCC, Erie Mason and others continue to compete fiercely, drawing community support and raising expectations for postseason runs.
Fans can look forward to the upcoming finals, where the Chiefs will aim to add a district title to their season highlights, while other athletes hope to carry their momentum into regional competitions.
