By Ian Perrotta Before last Saturday (Nov. 3), most people had never heard of Frontier International Academy. It only took 90 minutes to change that. The school’s unranked soccer team stunned No. 8 Grand Rapids Covenant Christian, beating the Chargers 3-2 in the Division 4 final to become state champions. It was only [...]
By Alan Madeleine Last week, Hamtramck High’s boys’ varsity baseball team won their first district championship since … well, since anybody can seem to remember. And the remembering seems to be a bit murky. It’s certainly the first one since the Michigan High School Athletics Association has been posting records, which goes back to 1997, [...]
By David Piestrzynski The Hamtramck boys varsity basketball squad is on a roll. With the district playoffs just around the corner, the Cosmos have put together a winning streak. Last Friday, Hamtramck slammed Dearborn Riverside Academy 60-40 at home on Senior Night. And on Tuesday night, they edged Hazel Park 43-39 for their second victory [...]
By David Piestrzynski Tomorrow is a word filled with optimism for football in Hamtramck. This past season, the Hamtramck High School team finished 3-6, knocking them out of the state playoff picture. But, despite the varsity team’s record, the future looks bright. The Cosmos will lose only four seniors to graduation, leaving a strong crop [...]
By David Piestrzynski If you’ve watched Hamtramck’s football team play this season, then you’ve probably seen Jonathan Blanding. On the field he was pretty much everywhere.

By David Piestrzynski This season didn’t go as planned for the Hamtramck’s football team. Its final game last Friday against Southfield Bradford Academy served as another disappointing loss for the Cosmos. They lost 30-8 in a game filled with missed opportunities on offense. Hamtramck threw five interceptions during the game, including three in the end [...]
By David Piestrzynski The Hamtramck High School Football team snapped a three-game losing streak last Friday with a 48-0 thrashing of Saginaw Buena Vista. The Cosmos were dominant on both sides of the ball. They charged out to a 42-0 lead late in the second quarter, and held Buena Vista to just one first down [...]
By David Piestrzynski Special to The Review To say the least, this season’s Homecoming game didn’t go as expected for Hamtramck’s Cosmos. A series of injuries to key players, and some missed first half scoring opportunities, resulted in a 35-6 loss to Macomb Lutheran Westland last Friday. Hamtramck’s offense moved the ball efficiently throughout the [...]
By David Piestrzynski Hamtramck’s football team is looking to bounce back after two consecutive home losses. Last week, the Cosmos fell at home to Melvindale ABT 48-28, dropping their overall record to 2-4. Leo Wells, Hamtramck’s head coach, believed his team matched up well with Melvindale ABT, but a slow start made the game more [...]
By David Piestrzynski Special to The Review The Cosmo’s hopes of making the state football playoffs took a hit after losing to Harper Woods last Friday in a defensive battle. The team fell to 2-3 after losing 8-6, in a game that didn’t see any scoring until the fourth quarter. “We had opportunities,” said Leo [...]
