Talking COVID-19 vaccines at Detroit s barbershops, hair salons
Detroit s COVID-19 vaccine rate is the lowest in the Metro Detroit area and the question of why or why not to get one is hotly debated in places where most people feel very comfortable holding these conversations - the barbershop and hair salons.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - While Michigan resumes some sense of normalcy, the state is pushing to increase the number of people vaccinated as hesitation remains high, specifically in the African-American community, which has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19.
Norfolk sweeps Juniors
Sports
Norfolk took both games late on Sunday as they swept the North Platte FNBO Juniors, 5-4 and 7-4, at Bill Wood Field.
“I think our inexperience came out today,” Juniors coach Ryan Jones said. “They were a little high on themselves after yesterday and I don’t think we were as ready to play today as we were yesterday. It was a couple of close ballgames. It could’ve went either way and unfortunately, we lost both of them.”
In the first game, North Platte (2-2) went up in the first inning when Cooper Hill hit a two-run double that landed near the foul line in left field.

Juniors sweep Columbus
Sports
The North Platte FNBO Juniors opened the season on Saturday by beating Columbus, 3-2 and 9-1, at Bill Wood Field.
It was the Legion baseball debut for all 12 players on the Juniors. The Juniors didn’t have a season last year, due to COVID-19, as the North Platte program chose to field just one team.
“It’s huge, none of the kids on the team played a Legion baseball game,” Juniors coach Ryan Jones said. “With what happened with COVID last year, it’s a new team and we’re very young. To go 2-0 against a team that had a really good high school season, that says a lot of the potential we have.”
