Frozen Friday Of HS Basketball : February 26, 2016

"Snowcopalyspe" 2016 wreaked havoc on Thumb Tailgater coverage area teams of high school basketball games that caused two days worth of cancellations / postponements. Many girls basketball games have been moved to join the boys on this Friday tonight - February 26th - as newly featured doubleheader of varsity action on the court. However many schools elected to close for third straight day due to power outages just coming back on from last night to this morning along with drifting snow on back roads and slick conditions on the main highways. Be careful and keep warm out there!

Thumb Tailgater Sports does had Live Internet Webcasts of high school girls & boys basketball as we present a North Central Thumb League Stars Division game with the Caseville Eagles at the Deckerville Eagles.

Deckerville girls had no title hopes as that has been decided with Kingston winning the outright NCTL Stars Division title. However this will be a great warm up game for both Caseville and Deckerville leading into the girls basketball District playoffs starting Monday, Februrary 29th. Deckerville got the win 46-31.

Deckerville boys needed to win to stay in first place of the division standings. Despite Caseville having only one win of the regular season - they are a team that battles on the court and does not give in that easily to teams. However due to the long layup of school closings there was no practice for either team. Caseville was limited to 6 players on their roster - and Deckerville took advantage pulling away with a 51-22 victory, despite at one point Caseville leading at the end of the 1st Q 12-11.

Coverage starts at 6pm & 7:30pm - Click Channel 1 at www.thumbtailgater.com

Weary Wednesday Of HS Basketball : February 24th, 2016

Thumb Tailgater Sports has the rest of the Live Webcasts coverage scheduled. We try to cover games this late in the season with title implications - and have two games that could conclude that aspect.

Thursday, February 25th features a Live Webcast of high school girls basketball game in the Greater Thumb East with the Marlette Lady Red Raiders at the Brown City Lady Greendevils. With a Marlette win - they become the lone outright league champions. If Brown City wins and Sandusky defeats Ubly that same night - it will be a two tie share for the title.

Friday, February 26th we present a Live Webcast of boys basketball in the North Central Thumb League Stars Division that has the Caseville Eagles at the Deckerville Eagles. With a Deckerville win - they hold onto to first place in the Stars division which could still be a three way tie with Dryden & Kingston. Deckerville will then need to defeat Carsonville-Port Sanilac next Thursday, March 3rd to seal their title. Despite Caseville & Carsonville two of the last place teams in the NCTL - coaches & teams know that you cannot "sleep & coast" nonchalantly on them.

Coverage starts at 7:30pm - with all Live Webcasts on Channel 1 (click it) at thumbtailgater.com

It's a very light schedule in our coverage area of high school basketball on this Wednesday, February 24th. But with the projected Winter Storm Warning heading to the thumb area of Michigan - games could be cancelled as some schools already closed for the day as of Tuesday!
