Boys
Grant at Newaygo
Rivalry game.
The Tigers are hopefully healing from the flu bug that cancelled their much awaited rematch with Fremont last week (they play each other next Tuesday in the regular season finale 6 days before meeting in the District).
The Lions lost by 20 a month ago and while they can  score in bunches and play intermittently strong against good teams they can be inconsistent and Grant will run away should the Lions have a scoring lapse.

Tri County at Fremont
The Packers need to recapture their early season offensive mojo and they hung 102 on the Vikes last time around.Depending on how much time Coach Zerfas wants to give his starters there should be a lot of bench scoring tonight.

Holton at Shelby
The Tigers have won 2 games, both against Hart.
Holton isn’t Hart.

Girls
Grant at Newaygo
What’s with the Lions? They have dropped three in a row and the first two they held a 4th quarter lead and could not finish.They didn’t play well last time out and though they handled Grant easily the  first time out they cannot go to sleep on the Tigers because they will make it 4 in a row if they do.
They need to head into the postseason on a high note and they have  two winnable games before the tipoff of the tourney. It’s time for their talent to emerge and do what this team is capable of.

Tri County at Fremont
The Vikes have quietly out together a 6 game win streak and Coach Alger has them playing their best ball of the season as they head for a postseason matchup with the  powerhouse Panthers of Comstock Park.
First time around the Packers stifled their scoring, holding them to just 23 points. Since then they have averaged well over 50 and while the Pack is fighting for a title share the Vikes are looking for some mo going into tourney play

​Holton at Ravenna
Coach Mason has done a good job and while it hasn’t translated into many postings in the W column this is a much improved team in the second half. They may not be able to stay with the Bulldogs who have posted a couple of wins against quality teams and their first round game in the tourney is Morley but we’ve noted the improvement.

Hesperia at North Muskegon
They’re on the road against the Norsemen but the Panthers are 7-1 against teams with a losing record and NM has a losing record
