Battle Creek Academy

The two Battle Creek teams that represent the Southwest Michigan Athletic Conference's East Division finally saw each other for the first time on the floor this season.

Two Battle Creek teams returned to the floor Monday with opportunities to better their squads following their games just two days before.

The two teams that would have represented the finalists of the Michigan High School Athletic Association's Division 2 District Finals at Harper Creek in 2020 finally got their match-up 341 days later.

As the 2021 High School Basketball season finally begins, our Game of the Night returns to the scene of our last basketball broadcast of 2020, where a pair of District Semifinal games would end the season short of its end.

The year of local high school sports in 2020 had the prospect of being epic, kicked off by several close games on the hardwood and a stellar season in the upcoming fall for the area football teams.

The final night of the regular season for the almost all of the Michigan High School Athletic Association teams took place Thursday with several non-conference battles that prepped the teams for Districts next week.

The Interstate 8 race is growing tighter with just two weeks remaining in the conference schedules for the Pennfield Panthers and the Harper Creek Beavers.

It was the first busy night of basketball on the High School hardwood for February as several teams are beginning to jockey for position with just over a month remaining before districts.

For the first time in a decade, our Game of the Night took us to the friendly confines of Calhoun Christian after the listeners chose where to go two weeks ago.

It has been a friendly rivalry between the St. Philip Fighting Tigers and the Calhoun Christian Cougars on the hardwood, especially since several student-athletes share time with each school in athletics co-op programs.
