Skyline baseball, Chelsea girls track in close race for AnnArbor.com Team of the Week title

By Kyle Austin

Two days in, it’s a two-horse race.

The Chelsea High School girls track team and the Skyline High School baseball team have emerged into the top two spots of this week’s AnnArbor.com Team of the Week poll.

As of noon Wednesday, Skyline baseball had 231 votes, and Chelsea girls track had 189. In all, 558 votes have been cast -- already surpassing the total of either of our first two Team of the Week polls.

Our poll will close at noon Friday. The winner will be the focus of our coverage next week -- that means game coverage, feature stories, photos and more as was done for the Skyline boys lacrosse team last week and will be done for the Pioneer girls tennis team this week.

The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead after our poll went up Monday after some encouragement from coach Shane Rodriguez in the form of an athletic department-wide email. But more than 150 of Skyline’s votes have come since late last night, when the school sent out a call for votes on its Twitter page.

So consider this another nudge to both fan bases -- and our three other competitors, Huron softball, Milan baseball and Saline water polo. There’s still two more days to get in on the action.
