The school year is quickly winding down and with it ends an eventful year for Eastern Michigan University’s athletic teams. As part of my weekly appearances on E-TV’s Eagles Sports Update, I share my “Eagle of the Week” – a player or coach who stands out to me for their performances in the week leading up to the show.

This week’s episode covers events between Nov. 30 to Dec. 6. Listeners have options to attend the Ypsilanti Artisan Holiday Market, the annual Tree Lighting Celebration, yoga, First Fridays and more.
