Rematch Set At Regional Final On Wednesday

In the semifinals of the Class D No.28 Regionals at Deckerville High School, North Huron was almost eliminated out of the playoffs. But the Warriors came from behind late in the 4th, to defeat a very good Burton Genesee Christian team 64 - 60. At the end of the 3rd North Huron was down 47 - 41, then mounted the comeback win with 24 points in the 4th!
The Soldiers had the Warriors on the ropes with a 13 point lead a couple of times in the game. But Michael Buholtz sparked the come back drilling a couple 3 pointers. Both teams were in foul trouble and in the double bonus on the charity stripe.
That advantage however went to North Huron as both Cory Babiszewski & Sean Clancy made some key free throws within :19 seconds left in the game. Clancy by the way was limited to about 10 points total in the game. However the rest of team all contributed to make up for that "X-Factor".
North Huron now faces off against their nemesis in the playoffs for the last couple years against the Bay City All Saints who had no trouble with the Peck Pirates, rolling on to a 67 - 45 win. The Pirates did play hard and were very pesky against the Cougars, all the way to the final buzzer.
This time the rematch between North Huron & Bay City All Saints is for the Regional championship and not in the districts.
