By Ken De Laat, N3 Sports Boys Districts begin Monday with winners advancing to Wednesday’s semi-finals. Friday will determine District champs and an advance to Regional play. D3 Regionals are at Pewamo Westphalia and the D2 will be in Allendale. Monday D2 Fremont District Newaygo vs. Tri County 5:30 pm Which team shows up here? Is it the Lion squad who can pour in the points or the team that struggles to reach 50? They bested 2 teams with winning records and didn’t fall to any with losing records. Tri County has a losing record. Mainly due to a 9 game skid that lasted nearly 2 months. The Vikings righted the ship a bit and have gone 6-6 since including a near comeback at home when the Lions were in town.. When Newaygo is clicking in collaborative congruence they look like they could beat anyone, but they have struggled to maintain it consistently much less for the whole 32 minutes. Nelson, Long, Klomp, Kerr should combine for enough points and if the defense can keep TC from scoring in bunches like they did last time they played the Lions should advance to face Grant. Fremont vs. Kent City 7 pm In the middle of the season the Packers went 6-1. Before that streak and since they are 2-13 including dropping 7 of their last 8. They face a Kent City team who have equally struggled to score, Whether Miller, Mellema, DeKuiper or DeBlake getting a hot hand from one or more might make the difference. The game is on the Packer court and should give them the edge to advance to play Sparta. The Packers and Spartans have taken turns ending each others seasons in the last two District Finals Monday D3 at Shelby Holton vs. Shelby 5:30 pm These 2 teams have met twice and those games represent half of Shelby’s wins. The first ended with the Tigers outscoring the Devils by 32. The next time it was 35. Barring a forfeit the Tigers advance where undefeated, state ranked North Muskegon awaits. Hesperia vs. Ravenna 7 pm If you believe that in 3 days Hesperia can play 32 points better than they did when they lost by that margin to Ravenna on Friday your Panther loyalty runs deep. Bulldogs get another shot at the Cloud.
