congratulations to our league champions this season. DeWitt won the CAAC Blue, Williamston surprised many by winning the CAAC Red. Portland and Lansing Catholic shared the CAAC White championship, and Portland St. Patrick won the CMAC.
And that means that the 51st annual Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) girls basketball state tournament begins this afternoon (March 4th) at 128 sites all around the state in four divisions.
We are now down to the final week of the regular season in Michigan high school girls basketball. Just six days remain until the state tournament begins at the district level.
The Michigan high school boys basketball district pairings were announced this past Sunday. And now the 40 or so area teams know who/when/where they're going to play in the 99th Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) boys basketball state tournament.
Congratulations are in order for Lansing Sexton and Laingsburg as they clinched the CAAC White and CMAC, respectively, with wins last week. It's Sexton's first league title since 2012, when Carlton Valentine led the then-Big Reds to the second of two straight Class B state titles.
There are no changes in the top six of this week's poll. But below that, there are changes. Haslett falls out of the poll after two losses to Lansing Catholic and Williamston. And so does Leslie after losing in overtime to Marshall on Saturday.
