East Lansing is still alive in the state tournament, they won the regional championship on Thursday night with a 54-40 victory over Coldwater.  The Trojans will face Muskegon in the Class A Quarterfinals next Tuesday night at DeWitt High School.

Hampton is averaging around 16 points and five rebounds a game.
