There are many intriguing games for tip off tonight in thumb area girls basetball. The big one is Brown City & Sandusky. But let's not overlook the Port Hope Lady Bluestars who get their final shot to even the record with the Memphis Lady Yellowjackets who have been swarming other NCTL teams with major stings. The latest was against the Kingston Lady Cardinals who fought hard but couldn't even their score. Port Hope hopes to avenge their three point loss earlier this season to Memphis who won 50-47. Huron Daily Tribune Sports Reporter Paul Adams, will be updating Thumb Tailgater Sports on that game tonight.
And the Greater Thumb West warms us up with the Reese Lady Rockets taking on rival USA Lady Patriots.
But like mentioned the biggest game of the night...
BROWN CITY vs SANDUSKY!!
Both teams are undefeated thus far. Brown City are the defending GTE Champions of the 2008-09 season. Last year it was very tight race till the final week of the regular season that had Brown City take "soul" posession of the GTE Title. Let me rehash your memories...
On Tuesday, February 22nd, 2009: It looked like the Ubly Lady Bearcats would have at least a share of the title by beating Brown City 51-47. That created a three way tie for the title with Sandusky & Brown City. Sandusky had won that night over Deckerville to keep it's share.
But then later that week on Thursday the final night of the regular season of the GTC - Deckerville Lady Eagles and Harbor Beach Lady Pirates pulled off huge upset wins. Deckerville beat Ubly in the final minutes with a big comeback win 47-40. Harbor Beach shellacked the Sandusky Lady Redskins 43-35.
Those upset wins enabled the Brown City Lady Greendevils to claim the GTE Title.
So that brings us to this season for tonight's first meeting between Sandusky and Brown City, for the "Greater Thumb East Battle For The Title". Brown City has taken a step with a victory over Harbor Beach Lady Pirates on Monday night, 58-32.
Sandusky on the other hand has been the most talked about team this year so far - I dare say even more than boys in the Thumb area ! Lady Redskins are still ranked #1 in the State Class C Poll, and cemented that status by beating the then #5 state ranked, undefeated Reese Lady Rockets last Friday, 73-57.
There will still be plenty of regular season play left however and anything can happen. But the question tonight will be - WHO WILL STILL BE UNDEFEATED?!?
Plus plenty of great round ball action going on tonight!
