Treacherous Thursday Title Night - H.S. Boys Basketball.

Tonight the bulk of the high school boys basketball season will wrap up, with a couple left on Friday night in the Thumb Tailgater Sports coverage area.
Some League championships should be decided by tonight also. In the Blue Water Area Conference, the Imlay City Spartans already have a share of the title and with a win tonight over Croswell-Lexington Pioneers; they will have the championship outright. Yale has to defeat Richmond tonight and hope for the Pioneers to play the spoiler role.
Over in the Greater Thumb East, Marlette Red Raiders is expected to grab a share of the GTE if they defeat Mayville tonight. The Harbor Beach Pirates can also grab a share of the title if they can pull off a win against a strong but unpredictable Sandusky Redskin team. If the Pirates lose then Marlette are outright champs of the GTE.
The Tri-Valley East Title can be won out right by Bridgeport who currently have a share of the title (their third consecutive). But in order for that to happen Frankenmuth has to lose, who have no intentions of doing so tonight against their potential spoiler opponent the Birch Run Panthers.
The NCTL North Title is...can someone explain this one to me again?! I know North Huron has a share and I believe if they have a loss tonight against Deckerville, Akron-Fairgrove will gain a share. Simply put - if North Huron wins, they are the outright champs.

I think Akron-Fairgrove deserves the share of the title, they have come from a long ways. Go Vikings!!!

To ANON - Then Akron-Fairgrove should have beaten North Huron. That is just a fun rib there by the way don't take it seriously! If not win the title, win something better...a District Championship! Good luck to all teams!
