GIRLS BKB: REESE 48, CASS CITY 21

The Rockets returned the summit Thursday, downing Cass City 48-21 to clinch at least a share of the league crown. Reese finished second to Caro a year ago, the first time since 2008 that it didn’t claim the trophy.
But the Rockets (11-0, 10-0) have been nothing short of perfect in their quest for the crown. They bolted to a 29-11 lead by halftime en route to the win. Maddi Osantowski poured in 19 points, including a 14-point outburst in the second quarter. She sank five 3-pointers in the game.

Shorthanded Essexville Garber made a run at longshot victory, coming up short in a 49-46 loss to Swan Valley.
The Dukes, playing without six players due to contact tracing, led 20-18 at halftime before Swan Valley went on a 22-12 third-quarter run. Garber (3-8) scratched its way back to within three points but couldn’t pull off the win.

The Tri-Valley West’s first-place showdown lived up to its billing, as Standish-Sterling gave front-running Hemlock a run for its money.
But the Panthers couldn’t pull it off in the end, falling 52-45 and seeing its title hopes come to an end.
Standish-Sterling (9-3, 6-2) trailed 29-21 at halftime but closed the margin to 37-35 entering the final stanza. No. 6-ranked Hemlock (12-0, 8-0) held tight down the stretch, clinching at least a share of the league title.
Cole Prout led Standish-Sterling with 15 points while Chase Raymond added 14 and Truman King seven.
Hemlock, which hit eight 3-pointers in the game, was led by Michael Zolinski with 14 and Brayden Green with 12. The Huskies hit 8 of 9 free throws down the stretch to close out the win.

Frankenmuth came out firing, lighting up the scoreboard with 24 first-quarter points en route to a 71-37 win over John Glenn in Tri-Valley East action.
“They were dominating tonight,” Glenn coach Dale Clyde said. “There’s a reason why they’re the No. 5 team in the state. Their bigs played well and they shot incredibly well.”

Still playing without a handful of players due to contact tracing, Gladwin found a way to win.
The Flying G’s started fast and never let Clare turn the tide, snaring a 56-45 victory in Jack Pine Conference play. Gladwin (6-5, 6-5) led 24-15 at the half and reached the six-win mark for the first time since 2016.
“It was a nice bounce-back win for us,” Gladwin coach Mike Verellen said. “This hopefully will be our last short-handed game, as we are supposed to have our quarantine guys back on Saturday. We got off to a great start, thanks in large part to our sophomore call ups.”
Wilson Bragg sank four 3-pointers in an 18-point performance for Gladwin. Ethan Shea scored 13 points, Nick Wheeler nine and Logan Kokotovich eight.
