The final 128 Michigan boys basketball teams still playing are just three wins away from booking a trip to East Lansing.

MI Student AidThat team total will be cut in half again tonight in Regional Semifinals played across the state, and then once more during Thursday’s Regional championship round.

Find everything you need to know this week about tickets, brackets and more as the tournament continues on the Boys Basketball page. To watch any of several games online, visit the NFHS Network, and see below for several of the intriguing matchups. Host sites are in bold. 

“Breslin Bound” is powered by MI Student Aid and based on results and schedules posted for each school at MHSAA.com.

 Week in Review

The countdown of last week’s five most intriguing results:

1. Rockford 64, Muskegon 62 The Ottawa-Kent Conference Red champion Rams (22-2) sank a last-second game-winner to get past the O-K Green title-winning Big Reds (19-2) in a Division 1 District Final.

2. Bridgman 45, Niles Brandywine 39 The Bees (18-5) ended this season’s run for last year’s Division 3 champion Brandywine (12-11) in the District Finals, also avenging a 64-60 overtime loss to the Bobcats from Jan. 7.

3. Goodrich 68, Flint Powers Catholic 54 The Martians (19-5) claimed a Division 2 District title, avenging an 81-57 loss to the Chargers (19-2) from Dec. 7.

4. Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice 64, Birmingham Groves 61 The Warriors (22-2) navigated one of their closest wins this season to down Oakland Activities Association Red champion Groves (18-6) in a Division 1 District clincher.

5. Frankenmuth 48, Bay City John Glenn 38 These teams split during the regular season and John Glenn (20-4) won the second meeting and the Tri-Valley Conference Red title, but Frankenmuth (18-6) won this rematch to claim a Division 2 District championship.

Regionals at a Glance

These could be among our most competitive brackets. Host sites are in bold:

DIVISION 1

Detroit Renaissance
Farmington (19-5) vs. Wayne Memorial (21-3)
Detroit U-D Jesuit (20-3) vs. Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice (22-2)

A lot of statewide eyes will be on the Jesuit/Brother Rice Regional Semifinal, and with good reason – Jesuit won their lone meeting on Dec. 6, 58-44, and then the Catholic High School League Central title with the Warriors finishing second. The winner will still have a tough road ahead to finish the week. Farmington has won 10 of its last 11 games, and Wayne is the Kensington Lakes Activities Association East champion and winner of 17 of its last 18.

Lansing Eastern’s Don Johnson Fieldhouse
Battle Creek Lakeview (14-10) vs. Kalamazoo Central (18-4)
East Lansing (23-1) vs. Okemos (17-7)

East Lansing has been a favorite all season to get to MSU next week, with its only loss in overtime to Muskegon on Dec. 21. But this bracket is likely to provide some challenges. The Trojans swept Okemos during the Capital Area Activities Conference Blue season but won the first game in double overtime, 78-67, and the second 53-46. Kalamazoo Central must add to their regular-season sweep of Lakeview first, but the Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference East champion would be another formidable foe in the Regional Final.

Hudsonville
Hudsonville (18-5) vs. Holland West Ottawa (13-11)
Grand Rapids Northview (19-5) vs. Byron Center (18-6)

Half the O-K Red won District titles last week, and second-place Hudsonville will look to add to its regular-season sweep of fifth-place West Ottawa – which upset third-place Grand Haven to advance. Northview shared the O-K Gold title, and Byron Center was runner-up in the O-K Green – and also defeated Hudsonville 61-59 on Feb. 4. The Bulldogs’ four most recent losses came to teams that have won at least 19 games this season, and Northview played one of the toughest schedules in the state; they are two of only four to defeat reigning Division 2 champion Warren Lincoln.

DIVISION 2

Central Montcalm
Frankenmuth (18-6) vs. Freeland (20-3)
Flint Hamady (16-6) vs. Portland (21-2)

Frankenmuth may haver ended the season for TVC Red champion John Glenn (see above), but now the Eagles must take on runner-up Freeland after losing to the Falcons by six in overtime and then 57-56 in their second meeting Feb. 7. On the other side of the bracket are a pair of league champions – Hamady from the Genesee Area Conference and Portland from the CAAC White. Hamady rebounded last week after closing the regular season with four losses in five games. The Raiders have won 10 of their last 11, including avenging their lone league loss by downing Lansing Sexton in overtime in the regular season finale to clinch that title outright.

Ferndale
Detroit Old Redford (18-2) vs. Detroit University Prep (19-5)
Detroit Denby (15-6) vs. Warren Lincoln (18-4)

Two of these teams played at Breslin last season – Lincoln is the reigning Division 2 champion, and Old Redford finished Division 3 runner-up. But to make their matchup happen, they must of course advance to the Regional Final. Old Redford must defeat University Prep – they finished second and third, respectively, in the Charter School Conference Gold, thanks to Old Redford’s 61-54 win Jan. 27. Denby finished fourth in a strong Detroit Public School League Blue and will be the latest to challenge Lincoln, which played a schedule against opponents that combined to win 70 percent of their games during the regular season.

Grand Rapids Christian
Spring Lake (15-10) vs. Sparta (13-11)
Grand Rapids Catholic Central (18-7) vs. Grand Rapids South Christian (20-4)

The attention is going to be given primarily to the teams playing in the second Regional Semifinal. South Christian shared the O-K Gold title with Northview and won a 50-40 meeting Jan. 28 with GRCC, which went on to win the O-K White. But there’s intrigue on the other side of the bracket as Spring Lake emerged last week to defeat three of the top five from the West Michigan Conference Lakes, including champion Whitehall. Sparta has won four of its last five games.

Ishpeming Westwood’s Tristan Miller (22) goes to the basket with Marquette’s Jacob MacPhee defending during their teams’ December matchup.

DIVISION 3

Ithaca
Ovid-Elsie (19-5) vs. Chesaning (21-3)
Stockbridge (20-4) vs. Jackson Lumen Christi (21-3)

A Mid-Michigan Activities Conference showdown kicks off this bracket, as champion Chesaning will seek to add to its 57-52 win over runner-up Ovid-Elsie from Jan. 31 after the Marauders won the first meeting 58-55 on Dec. 16. Chesaning has won 18 straight games since that defeat. Big 8 Conference champion Stockbridge is 17-2 over its last 19 games – but with those losses 61-50 to Ovid-Elsie on Feb. 10 and 69-59 to Lumen Christi on Dec. 20.

Millington
Millington (22-2) vs. Flint New Standard Academy (14-8)
Harbor Beach (22-1) vs. Brown City (13-11)

Harbor Beach won the Big Thumb Conference Black and Millington won the BTC White, and Harbor Beach also won their meeting Feb. 10, 60-54. To earn a rematch, Millington must get past a New Standard team that has taken losses from several top teams including Brother Rice, and also won five straight including avenging a defeat to International Academy of Flint. Harbor Beach’s lone loss came by two points to Yale on Jan. 3, and the Pirates swept Brown City, which finished  fourth in the BTC Black.

Sault Ste. Marie
Ishpeming Westwood (19-5) vs. Iron Mountain (21-3) at Gladstone
Harbor Springs (21-3) vs. Maple City Glen Lake (22-1) at Elk Rapids

These powerhouses will play Regional Semifinals at separate sites before meeting in Sault Ste. Marie. Iron Mountain won the Western Peninsula Athletic Conference East, but its one league loss was to Westwood on Jan. 3, 61-56, before winning the rematch three weeks later 58-32. Glen Lake won the Northwest Conference and Harbor Springs was runner-up in the Northern Shores Conference, and they also met during the regular season with Glen Lake taking a Dec. 18 meeting 71-63.

DIVISION 4

McBain Northern Michigan Christian
Mio (15-7) vs. Bellaire (20-4)
Traverse City Christian (22-2) vs. Marion (18-6)

Mio and Traverse City Christian have crossed paths, with TCC winning their Battle of the Bridge championship game at Mackinaw City 45-26 on Dec. 7. Bellaire shared the Ski Valley Conference title, and three of its four losses were to Division 2 and 3 teams. Marion finished third in the West Michigan D League but notably downed Northwest Conference runner-up Onekama by 13 to claim their District last week. TCC has won 15 straight since falling to Onekama on Jan. 3, and Mio finished runner-up in the North Star League Little Dipper and has won eight of its last 10 games.

Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart
Muskegon Heights Academy (11-10) vs. Pentwater (21-2)
Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart (20-3) vs. Fowler (21-3)

Pentwater and Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart are league champions and Fowler finished runner-up in the Central Michigan Athletic Conference only to Division 3 contender Pewamo-Westphalia, with two of its losses to the Pirates and the third to Division 2 Fruitport. Pentwater ran its winning streak to 11 with a buzzer-beating District Final win over Baldwin, and Sacred Heart’s losses were to Division 3 Lumen Christi and Glen Lake and league rival Fulton. Enter an intriguing possibility in Muskegon Heights Academy, which as an independent has played all over and is riding a six-game winning streak. The Tigers also lost to Fruitport, but by only a point in their season opener, and have taken on several much larger schools and played in five overtime games.

Negaunee
Bessemer (15-9) vs. Dollar Bay (20-4) at Houghton
Felch North Dickinson (18-5) vs. Crystal Falls Forest Park (22-2) at Kingsford

These teams also will play at separate Regional Semifinal sites before convening in Negaunee. Dollar Bay shared the Copper Mountain Conference championship, that run including a 53-43 win over Bessemer on Jan. 24. The Speedboys have won 10 of their last 12 games, while Dollar Bay brings a 10-game winning streak into tonight. Forest Park was a Regional champion last season and has lost this winter only to Division 1 Marquette and Division 2 Kingsford, with 11 and nine-point wins over North Dickinson contributing to a Skyline Central Conference small-school title. But North Dickinson has improved five wins from a year ago and won nine of its last 10 games.

Longtime Official, Assigner, Association Leader Czech Named 36th Norris Honoree

By Geoff Kimmerly
MHSAA.com senior editor

April 10, 2026

While a game official’s most recognizable work is done on the field of play, much must be accomplished behind the scenes as well to produce that finished product – and Oak Park’s Robert Czech long has been revered while serving as a game official in four sports, an assigner of officials to work high school and middle school events, and a supporter of his colleagues as co-creator and continuing mentor for one of the state’s largest officials associations.

To celebrate his vast contributions to officiating in Metro Detroit and statewide, Czech will be honored with the 36th Vern L. Norris Leadership in Officiating Award during the MHSAA’s Officials Awards & Alumni Banquet on April 25 in East Lansing.

The Norris Award is presented annually to a veteran official who has been active in a local officials association, has mentored other officials, and has been involved in officials’ education. It is named for Vern L. Norris, who served as executive director of the MHSAA from 1978-86 and was well-respected by officials on the state and national levels. Czech will be honored at Michigan State University’s Kellogg Center along with high school game officials with 20, 30, 40, 45, 50 and 55 years of service.

Bob Czech headshotCzech is in his 44th year as an MHSAA-registered official for football, basketball, softball and baseball, and he previously was registered for two years to officiate volleyball as well. He also has assigned officials for more than 35 years, currently doing so for selected sports in the Oakland Activities Association, Lakes Valley Conference, Kensington Lakes Activities Association and Michigan Independent Athletic Conference, and he is a longtime leader with Metro Detroit Athletic Officials (MDAO), an association which counts 650 officials among its membership.

His first games as an official came on the football field in the Detroit Police Athletic League, and from there he followed mentors including past Norris winners Robert Williams and Hugh Jewell into an avocation that has become a life’s work.

“When you’re younger, you can catch a little heat from coaches and players and parents, (and) it’s easy to get down on yourself a little bit – but you just have to stick with it,” said Czech, a retired Detroit police officer. “All the older guys will tell you, hey, it will go away, you’ll be fine and you’ll learn from it, you’ll grow and you’ll feel a lot better. And one good thing about this type of business, or this avocation, you’re running into people from all different walks of life – cops, teachers, insurance people, lawyers, doctors, dentists – there’s all kinds of people who work in this kind of avocation. So you get to see a whole side of life, and that’s good, (with) great relationships and many, many friendships.”

Several of those relationships and friendships also were cultivated with local athletic directors, who approached Czech decades ago requesting help with the time-consuming task of finding officials for their contests. Before assigners, schools contacted individual officials, and individual officials made their own schedules. Czech was among assigning pioneers, and currently places officials on thousands of games every season in the four sports he also officiates.

He also has continued to work on the field at an elite level. He has received 297 MHSAA Tournament assignments over the years, including football, girls and boys basketball playoff games this school year. He’s officiated a combined eight Finals in football and baseball, most recently wearing the white hat for the 2022 11-Player Division 1 Football Final between Belleville and Caledonia.

“Bob Czech personifies leadership in officiating, not only on the field but in the ever-important areas of support, education and recruiting of the next generation of officials,” MHSAA Executive Director Mark Uyl said. “Integrity, fairness, professionalism and commitment are among Bob's qualities referenced by his colleagues, and they also will tell you he is always available to them and always doing his utmost to make sure students receive the best experience.”

Czech graduated from Detroit Benedictine High School in 1974. He earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from University of Detroit Mercy in 1978 and a master’s in political science from Wayne State University in 1983. He has served as a director of the annual Prep Kickoff Classic football series and been active with the Fraternal Order of Police, Friendship Circle of West Bloomfield, Macomb-Oakland Regional Center and March of Dimes. He also has contributed to the Miracle League of Southfield, Forgotten Harvest and City of Oak Park.

Czech received a lifetime achievement award from the Oakland County Athletic Directors Association (OCADA) in 2016 and was inducted into the Catholic High School League (CHSL) Hall of Fame in 2008.

He and his wife Patricia have three adult daughters.
