Battle Creek St. Philip

The Interstate 8 has been very competitive once again this basketball season and it was showcased Tuesday night in perfect fashion at Pennfield for our Game of the Night.

In the shortened sprint to the Michigan High School Athletic Association's basketball postseason, the learning curve for young teams may take longer than expected.

Friday night's Game of the Night was set to pit two Southwest Michigan Athletic Conference foes against each other for the first time this season, and two crosstown rivals to boot.

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

For the second straight night, our Game of the Night featured two teams that we slated to square off for a District title in the Michigan High School Athletic Association.

The St. Philip Fighting Tigers headed into this delayed and shortened season with more questions than answers as they tipped off the season this week.

The High School Sports schedules for this season are ever-changing since the school year began. After a football season that was delayed by three weeks and paused in the postseason, it was just one of many fall sports to have completed their state championships in January.

It was another State Title Saturday at Kellogg Arena and for the St. Philip Fighting Tigers, it took a little longer and a tougher battle to the end to hoist another trophy.

After a five-season absence from the final four teams in the Michigan High School Athletic Association's Girls Volleyball playoffs, the St. Philip Fighting Tigers will be playing for their potential 21st state championship.

The continued effort to complete the Michigan High School Athletic Association's fall sports schedule continues this week with the final week of Girls Volleyball statewide.
