Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 9th of November.
Good morning, Lansing.
🎓 Education
Ann Arbor has been named the nation’s most educated city for the eighth year in a row, with 96% of adults holding at least a high school diploma and over half earning a bachelor’s degree—figures reported by WalletHub.
The Lansing-East Lansing area also ranked high at 30th, showing strong educational opportunities in Michigan.
🌲 Environment
A deep freeze and snowfall this weekend have led Lansing residents to turn on their furnaces, which could increase heating expenses.
Energy experts advise sealing air leaks—adjusting thermostats and inspecting HVAC systems can help lower the cost of heating homes.
🏛️ Government
On Friday night, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency stay that blocked an order for full November SNAP benefits, so MDHHS paused payments for Michigan recipients—pending benefits will remain on hold until further court or USDA action.
🏈 Sports
Senior Tommy Pratt helped Williamston win 42-21 over Haslett on November 7 after the team trailed 21-7 at halftime.
He made a 68‑yard touchdown run—one key play in the third quarter that jump-started his team, which will face Goodrich in the regional round next week.
Following an overtime win on Friday, Michigan State beat Penn State 5-0 Saturday as the team built a 3-0 lead early and goaltender Trey Augustine made 35 saves for his third shutout on the season.
MSU men’s soccer fought hard but lost 4-3 against No.1 Maryland in its final game at DeMartin stadium—finishing a rollercoaster season with a 5-8-3 record.
The team played with heart against the top-ranked Terrapins and left everything on the field until the final whistle.
No. 1 MSU hockey defeated No. 3 Penn State 2-1 in overtime on November 7th as Tiernan Shoudy scored the game-winning goal—snapping Penn State's nine-game win streak.
Michigan State Athletics partnered with Levy to run Spartan Stadium concessions, but fans have complained about long lines and cold, overpriced food since the change began.
MSU Athletics said it is working with Levy to fix these problems — promising improvements for future games.
On Nov. 8, Pewamo-Westphalia beat North Muskegon by a score of 56 to 28 with strong plays from Ty Thelen and teammates, and Ithaca won 22 to 21 over Elkton-Pigeon Bay Port after a late push — the Yellowjackets will face the Pirates next in the regionals.
