PHOTO GALLERY: Girls Soccer District Semifinals – Dearborn Fordson vs Detroit Western
After opening up their postseason run with a shutout of city rival Dearborn Edsel Ford in overtime last week, the girls’ soccer team from Dearborn Fordson resumed their quest through the Division 1 state playoffs on Tuesday.
Playing in the second of two district semifinal round games at Wyandotte Roosevelt, the Tractors opposed a Detroit Western International team that rolled by Detroit Cass Tech 7-0 in their respective district quarterfinal match last week.
The two teams played deep into the night and with more late-game theatrics, the locals from Dearborn extended their season for at least one more game with a 3-2 comeback victory over the Cowgirls.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
