Defending champion Southfield Christian (19-6) is leading Dollar Bay (21-4) 16-10 after one. They beat them by 40 last season in this spot. Final was SC 55 DB 28.
SF Christian plays winner of Frankfort and Wyoming Tri-Unity Christian. The champs SC pulling away 32-16 at halftime.
===================

Frankfort up 14-6 over Tri-unity after one. Frankfort holds Tri-Unity to 12 in the first half and lead 26-12 at half. Frankfort is alot taller then Tri-Unity. 3:37 left in third. Its 31-12 now. Finally some life from Tri-unity. Frankfort's guards look a tad confused. They score 11 points in 1:50 and cut lead to 37-23 to end the third. Dumb basketball by Frankfort last minute throwing ball away. Frankfort was up 23 with 2 minutes to go in the third. Lead is down to 8 with 6:51 left.

I have never seen a almost comeback from down 35-12 in high school. Tri-Unity was down that score with 1:50 left in the third. They score their first third quarter points then close last 1:50 With a 11-2 run. It was 37-23 end of three. Tri-Unity starts third quarter on a 14-0 run to tie the game. They take a 39-37 lead with under 4 minutes left. Frankfort finally scores to tie them gets the ball back and in a great defensive possession by TU Frankfort player banks a 3 in to take a three point lead . Free throw makes it 4.. but after a few misses TU again ties it up. But oh no a player for TU forgets it is tied and fouls with around 5 seconds left. 1 of 2 free throws TU gets last chance no shot gets off Frankfort holds on
44-43 wow what a game.

Early it is all Southfield Christian as Frankfort is having all sorts of issues with the press.
Defending champs from Southfield Christian lead after first quarter 24-12. In quarter number two same thing happened as Frankfort has zero chance to win this game over the private school from South Christian. Defending champs cruising to a back to back titles.
Lead at half and lead 44-20 at halftime. Frankfort has no shot. Just another Mshaa high school uncompetitive game between public and private schools. SF Christian should be playing in Divison 1 or 2. Score is 53-29 end of three.
Back to back title for the Eagles of SF Christian.
