Friday Girls District Finale

Friday night is District Final Championship night for girls high school basketball! Many schools are trying to make a bid to go to the Regionals. This time the seedings worked out where we will find some of the elite teams of the Thumb, and with a couple of top ten state ranked teams to top it off!

One in particular is the Thumb Tailgater Sports game of the night at the No.81 District final between two highly state ranked teams. #4 Brown City Lady Greendevils versus #3 Sandusky Lady Redskins; this is the "rubber match" of the season for the Greater Thumb East Co-champions. That District Championship is now a title that will not be shared! Coverage starts at 6:30pm.
The Reese Lady Rockets has a huge task against the #6 state ranked New Lothrop Lady Hornets.
Congratulations to the Vassar Vulcans boys basketball team on earning the Greater Thumb West Title. The first title in basketball in 20 years for Vassar. They did it by overcoming Reese with outside three point shooting and great defense, 64 - 42. Reese hung in there at halftime, only down 25 - 21. But Vassar came out of the halftime on fire right off the bat knocking the Rockets out of orbit at the end of the third period 48 - 30. It was a great regular season ender webcast for Thumb Tailgater Sports.
Another tip of the hat goes to the CPS Tigers boys team on winning the NCTL South Championship after defeating Dyden last night. According to CPS Head Coach Cliff Amey, this the first lone outright title in 30 years; and since the 1930's there has been only three league titles and one co-championship for Carsonville-Port Sanilac.
There are also some boys games left to wrap up the regular season through Friday weekend.
But tonight is all about "March Magic" in the Girls District Finals!
