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)

Be the Referee: Competitive Cheer Inversion

By Paige Winne
MHSAA Marketing & Social Media Coordinator

February 19, 2025

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Competitive Cheer Inversion - Listen

A competitive cheer scenario for you today:

An inversion is a stunt where the top person, or flyer, is in an upside-down position at any point while being supported by bases or spotters.

When is it allowed to have a temporary loss of contact with the inverted flyer?

  • When transitioning to a double-based sponge with both feet of the flyer in the hands of the bases?
  • When transitioning to a cradle?
  • When transiting to a stunt at shoulder level or below where both feet of the flyer are in the hands of the bases?
  • Or – all of the these are allowed?

If you said all of those are allowed – you got it right!
