Girls Basketball
Raise the trophies: Grand Haven in Class A, Goodrich in Class B, Morley-Stanwood in Class C and Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes in Class D did so at Breslin Center in the most exciting Finals in some time -- three of the four games came down to the final minutes. Check Second Half later this week for a Girls Basketball Finals in Review.
Boys Basketball
Pershing moves on: The Detroit Pershing vs. Detroit Martin Luther King series has been one of the best in the state this winter. King defeated Pershing in the PSL Tournament Final. But only one could emerge from last week's Class A Regional -- and this time it was Pershing with a 75-70 win. (Mlive.com)
Long time coming: Lake Orion won its first Regional title since 1925 (really), defeating Waterford Mot 48-42 in Class A. Really. (Oakland Press)
Fantastic finish: Flint Beecher moved on with a 38-36 overtime win over Detroit Consortium in a Class C Regional Final that wasn't decided until Antuan Burks drained a jumper with a second to play in the extra period. (Detroit Free Press)
Time for two: New Haven won its second boys basketball Regional title ever, and first since 1990, with a 59-57 overtime win over frequent power Saginaw Nouvel. (Macomb Daily)

Coach's Guide to Nutrition: Breakfast
August 13, 2024
Skipping breakfast may be impacting student-athletes at practice and in games. Encourage them to plan ahead – grab something on the way out the door or a breakfast at school.
It doesn’t have to be fancy, but fueling early in the day CAN make a big impact. Remember carbs + protein + color. Breakfast will also help your student-athletes focus during those morning classes.
Breakfast is the first opportunity to refuel since the evening before – your tank is running on empty! A small breakfast at home, on the way to school or between first and second periods will start to refuel your muscles and brain.
What to eat and when to eat it: Whole grain English muffin with scrambled egg, cheese and spinach. Add an apple and milk on the side for breakfast on the go.
