Today the tennis, track and golf teams at many high schools in Michigan begin the tournament trail toward a state championship.
The regional tournaments in three sports are set to kick off today, weather permitting.
We want to wish good luck to all of our local sports teams as they take that first step toward achieving their dreams of winning a state title.
In tennis, Buchanan once again hosts the Division 4 tournament at Leeper Park in South Bend, Ind.
Joining the Bucks will be Brandywine, Dowagiac and Edwardsburg.
The Niles boys' tennis team competes in the Division 2 tournament up in Jenison.
In track, the Vikings, Chieftains and Edwardsburg Eddies will head up the road to St. Joseph for the Division 2 regional.
Brandywine heads to Constantine today for the Division 3 regional, while Cassopolis will compete in the Division 4 meet being held at Lawton.
Our golf teams will be spread all over the map for their regionals.
Niles actually has to wait until Monday to begin competition, as it will be in Battle Creek at the Binder Park course for the Division 2 regional.
Dowagiac travels to Jackson today to play at Cascades in the Division 3 regional.
We know some of the regional sites are quite far away, but we would hope that family and friends would make the trip to support their respective schools during the state tournament.
If you don't feel like traveling, head on down to South Bend and take in the tennis tournament.
We promise you will see some outstanding tennis being played throughout the day.
