Tremendous Thursday

At the lanes is a big showdown in high school girls bowling with some state ranked teams facing off in the alley - #2 Sandusky versus #3 Bad Axe at Liberty Lanes in Sandusky.


Thumb Tailgater Sports is covering girls basketball tonight live on the internet with a webcast of the #8 State ranked, Reese Lady Rockets versus the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Lady Lakers. The Rockets have been blasting away their opponents since their lone loss to #1 ranked Sandusky Lady Redskins. Reese plans on landing from orbit and deploying their parachute to safely float away with another victory. But for all the preparation that space centers plan, something could always go awry. That little glitch in the plans for the Greater Thumb West title may be the Lady Lakers who are sailing on a 8 game winning streak who have been drowning teams with a flood of defense! Once again the GTW - whether it be boys or girls proves to be the "Wild West" of the Greater Thumb Conference. Coverage starts live at 7pm!
In the Greater Thumb East - the Harbor Beach Lady Pirates will take a turn at trying to give the Sandusky Lady Redskins their first loss on the season.
In the NCTL there is plenty of action. Every game counts in the NCTL in the league standings when playing either a North or South team. That makes it one of the toughest leagues to play in and this is also the last year where that happens, as the schedule opens up more for these small competitive schools.


The Thumb area should be pretty proud of the fact that we have so many state ranked teams playing in different sports this season - quite remarkable at this point time!


**In more exciting news from Thumb Tailgater Sports - this Friday night we will bring you "double the coverage", of high school boys basketball. There will be two crews out covering two different live games. If it works out this will be common place in our goal to be leaders of live Thumb area sports coverage. The two games being covered are Reese Rockets @ EPBP Lakers and Cass City vs Bad Axe.
