It was a busy Friday night of High School Basketball in the Battle Creek area. With Michigan State basketball on the airwaves, we were unable to provide the normal Game of the Night.

The Interstate 8 has tightened up early in the season after the Pennfield Panthers topped the Marshall Redhawks last Friday. Five teams began the night atop the conference at 2-1.

As the calendar turns to 2020, some of the best rivalry contests make their way into the Game of the Night schedule for us on WBCK. Friday's game provided another classic from Pennfield.

When the Benton Harbor Tigers and Battle Creek Central Bearcats get together in this old rivalry, the Central Field House has been at full capacity for some of the most classic games between the two squads.

The first of eight South Central Athletic Association divisional battles for the St. Philip Fighting Tigers began Friday as they welcomed the rival Climax-Scotts Panthers to the Tiger Den.

The Lakeview Spartans hit the road for the first time in the 2019-2020 campaign, heading to a place they have struggled to find wins in their history.

The first Tuesday of the High School Boys Basketball season brings a majority of the area teams to the hardwood against their non-conference rivals.

The Battle Creek Central Bearcats had an opportunity to advance to the Division 1 District Finals at Loy Norrix, but they had to get past the Interstate 8's runner-up to do it.

Two cross-town rivals squared off for the third time this season, with the continuation of their seasons on the line at Loy Norrix High School.

The final week of the Michigan High School Athletic Association's Boys Basketball season has arrived with several make-up contests. Our Game of the Night was one that was rescheduled four times.
