congratulations to our league champions this season. DeWitt won the CAAC Blue, Williamston surprised many by winning the CAAC Red. Portland and Lansing Catholic shared the CAAC White championship, and Portland St. Patrick won the CMAC.
The regular season is now over in the state of Michigan. And that means the magic of March (or late February) is upon us. As the district tournaments begin this week.
The Michigan high school boys basketball district pairings were announced this past Sunday. And now the 40 or so area teams know who/when/where they're going to play in the 99th Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) boys basketball state tournament.
Just two weeks remain in the girls basketball regular season. And in the game of the week last week, Portland avenged their only loss of the season by beating defending Division 2 state champion Lansing Catholic at home by a 51-44 count. Guard Malia Thelen was great, scoring 27 points and leading them to victory.
Congratulations are in order for Lansing Sexton and Laingsburg as they clinched the CAAC White and CMAC, respectively, with wins last week. It's Sexton's first league title since 2012, when Carlton Valentine led the then-Big Reds to the second of two straight Class B state titles.
