The defending Division 4 state champions have been dethroned and the Huron baseball team is out of the state title chase. Each lost by a 4-1 score in the regional finals at Pellston Saturday.

Rogers City High School’s champion Huron softball team was chased off their throne by a pack of Bulldogs from Indian River-Inland Lakes in the regional championship game. Huron hitters could not solve the rockets coming off the hand of Bulldog pitcher Cloe Mallory, who struck out 12 while walking one and allowing just two hits.
