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 regular season is now over in the state of Michigan. And that means the magic of March (or late February) is upon us. As the district tournaments begin this week.

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.

Just two weeks remain in the girls basketball regular season. And in the game of the week last week, Portland avenged their only loss of the season by beating defending Division 2 state champion Lansing Catholic at home by a 51-44 count. Guard Malia Thelen was great, scoring 27 points and leading them to victory.

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.

Congratulations to Mason for winning the outright CAAC Red championship last Thursday with their victory over Fowlerville.

We are now in the home stretch of the boys basketball season. The state tournament starts in three weeks and the draws for the district tournament will be made public next week.

It's here! Construction season in Michigan is back. Expect lane closures and delays along some of the most traveled interstates. Here's MDOT's 2024's lineup:

There is some shuffling in this week's poll. Nine of the ten teams that were in the poll last week are in the poll this week. But they are in different positions due to results from last week.

Had this poll been done on Monday, it would've looked different. But with Portland St. Patrick's surprising 51-45 victory over previously undefeated Ovid-Elsie on Monday night, that necessitated some changes.
