District Championship Night - Thumb Area Teams

Thumb Tailgater Sports covered the No.81 District Championship game between two state ranked teams - #4 Brown City Lady Greendevils & #3 Sandusky Lady Redskins. The relentless defense and the hot shooting of the Greendevils clamped down on the Redskins where at one point late in the 2nd half, Brown City had a 14 point lead. Brown City came away with the victory 58 - 47. It was the first District title for the Lady Greendevils since 1998.

Brown City now moves on to the Regionals in Genesee where they are pitted against the #6 state ranked New Lothrop Lady Hornets, who defeated the Greater Thumb West Champions, the Reese Lady Rockets, 37 - 35.  Thumb Tailgater Sports will cover that whole Class C Regional No.22, that also includes Harbor Beach Lady Pirates taking on Saginaw Nouvel. Harbor Beach earned a second straight District title just edging a tough Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Lady Laker team, 40 - 37.

The Port Hope Lady Bluestars continued their great season in their "rubber" rematch over the North Huron Lady Warriors, winning with ease 50 - 30. Port Hope goes on to the Regionals to face off against Burton St.Thomas More Academy. That Regional also includes the great story book season of Twining Arenac Eastern who defeated Saginaw Michigan Lutheran 58 - 47. It will be Eagles vs Eagles in that Class D No.28 Regional as the Deckerville Lady Eagles won their District Title over CPS Lady Tigers in overtime 56 - 49.
At the Class B No. 57 Districts, the North Branch Lady Broncos eliminated Vassar Lady Vulcans 57 - 35. North Branch takes on Durand in the Class B No.13 Regional at Millington High School.

Monday, March 8th, is also the start of "March Magic" for boys high school basketball districts. Thumb Tailgater Sports at this point will be covering the No.114 Districts at Kingston High School. More info and last minute changes if any will be confirmed by late Sunday night.

Rick - the copyright police will be knocking down your door! I believe that the NCAA has had that phrase copyrighted since the late 80's. Eddie is too afraid of "the man" to travel that road. "February Fury" however, is catching on! (at least at the Fury household)...
