WARREN — If there’s one thing Warren Lincoln basketball players know about head coach Wydell Henry, it’s that defense is the glue to the basketball program. Henry holds his team to the standard of keeping opposing teams below 50 each game, and he has instilled this mindset in his guys since Day 1.
Their defensive prowess was a major reason Lincoln was playing for Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 state championship against top-ranked Grand Rapids Christian on March 16 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. “That’s just been our mentality the whole state run — defense,” Henry said. “Defense wins championships. Defense and rebounding. For me, it was more so, ‘Let’s defend.’ We knew we could score 60 to 65 points a game because we have that

WARREN — A fire was reported to the Warren Fire Department at 6:55 p.m. on March 26 at a commercial building located at 26020 Groesbeck where at least nine businesses were occupying the 12-unit single-story building. Fire crews arrived to find a partially involved older commercial building of approximately 24,000 square feet, said the Warren Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams. Entry was made into the third unit at the north end of the complex, and firefighters were met by heavy smoke and fire conditions. According to the commissioner, the fire collapsed 80% of the roof. The fire was then fueled by winds of at least 30 mph, which drove the fire through the entire length of the approximately 150-foot building where there was a barbershop, hair salon and a massage therapy business. There appeared to be no fire stops in the building, which allowed the fire to travel very quickly, according to the commissioner. “Fire breaks are essentially a wall in an open attic area that separates two spaces and provides a four hour burn time from one side to the other. Theoretically, a fire on one side won’t burn to the other side for a period of four hours,” McAdams said. “This was an older building that can be determined was built before fire breaks were required.” Drones were used at the fire scene, providing aerial views of the structure and thermal detection,
