The craft brewery fans have spoken, and the final four semifinalists for The Detroit News Michigan Craft Brewery Bracket Challenge have been announced.

The first bracket pairs Griffin Claw Brewing Company of Birmingham, which also has a tap room and facility in Rochester Hills, and Williamston, Michigan’s Old Nation Brewing, maker of the popular M-43 beer. It’s a good matchup: Both beer companies distribute in Michigan and beyond, and both opened in the mid-2010s.

The second bracket pits against each other New Holland Brewing on the west side of the state and Cheboygan Brewing Company at the top of the lower peninsula. Both of these breweries have been around a while, with New Holland dating back to 1997 and Cheboygan opening in 2009 (although the Cheboygan Brewing and Malting Company operated in the late 19th century).

Voting for these two brackets is open now and runs through Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. The two winners will battle each other in the final round.

These contenders started as a pool of 64 breweries which were chosen based on nominations from our readers. The champion brewery will get a trophy and bragging rights, plus a feature in The Detroit News.

Local emergency officials in Okemos, Michigan, and the National Weather Service are still determining how much Sunday’s severe storm impacted neighborhoods.

You can hear the familiar hum of generators as people wait for power to come back on and survey the damage from yesterday’s storm. 

“All of a sudden, the power went out, and we heard what sounded like a freight train,” said Susan Benivenga, of Okemos. 

Benivengna tells CBS News Detroit that her home was spared any major damage, but trees in her yard and in the neighborhood came down. 

“The spruce trees, the other conifer trees, had fallen like dominoes from one backyard to the next backyard, into the next backyard– at least four or five houses had this happen,” she said. 

Benivengna said her power was still not on as of Monday afternoon. Consumers Energy reported that their crews are out working to restore power, but getting everyone back up and running could take until Wednesday. Rob Dale with Ingham County Emergency Management said officials are still working to define Sunday’s storm. 

“Right now, we do know it was a wind storm. There may have been some tornadoes involved. On these smaller-end tornadoes, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a tornado and a straight-line wind. Fortunately for insurance, it doesn’t matter. Wind is wind,” said Dale. 

He said that he hadn’t seen any reports of deaths from the wind storm but one injury and widespread tree and property damage. Dale said storms like this one are why it’s important to practice what to do when a storm is coming. 

“We just did our tornado drill last week, so if you didn’t take it seriously before, we really hope you take tornado safety seriously in the future and save your life and protect your household as best you can,” Dale said. 

ATLANTA, Ga. — Michigan State senior guard Jaden Akins played his final game in a Spartan uniform on Sunday when he and his team were bested by the No. 1 overall seed Auburn in the Elite Eight.

Akins went into the season tasked with a hefty responsibility to lead a program that was desperately in need of finding a resurgence, and to say the least, he effectively did so.

The senior finished his collegiate career with a 15-point outing on Sunday, drilling three 3-pointers in the final minutes as he valiantly tried to will his team to a late comeback.

Akins addressed the media after the loss. You can watch some of his availability below:

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo spoke to reporters from the podium. Below is a transcript of his opening statement:

Izzo: “For the 30th year, I’m not sure I’ve ever been prouder of a team. There’s so much coach-speak and things that go on in programs all over, but these guys gave me everything they had. I drained them of everything. 

“They should take a week off. There’s nothing left in them. That’s kind of the way it was in the locker room. It was a tear-jerking locker room because they knew they spilled it all, and yet we thought we started out poorly, which we’ve had that little bit of a problem lately.

“We just couldn’t recover from that 17-0 run. It wasn’t through lack of effort. It wasn’t through lack of anything except we played a good team. 

“[Johni] Broome hurt us early. We made some adjustments, did a little better job on him after he hit those first, I think, 6 or 8 points. I thought we missed some good shots in there, but maybe some of it was their defense too. 

“All in all, you don’t get defined — unfortunately, your last game wears with you. I’m asking these guys that, if it does, make sure that you do something about it in your life. For Jaden, he’s not done playing basketball either. 

“All in all, the most unbelievable year I’ve had, the most connected year I’ve had. I just appreciate what these guys did for myself, our program, our university, and our community.”
