Napoleon has chance at statement win, welcomes in Michigan Center Wednesday night

By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Napoleon — After going 15-6 three seasons ago, the Napoleon boys basketball program hit a two-year speed bump.   In 2014-15, the Pirates were 7-14.   Last winter followed with an 8-13 mark.   Jeremy File then stepped in hoping to smooth things out, and as he and his guys regrouped this year, they did so with a certain optimism surrounding the team.   Then, in the season opener, the Pirates were left scratching their heads after 68-62 loss at Onsted.   For whatever reason, that loss gave way to a mission.   “We wanted to take things one game at a time, and by the time we faced Michigan Center, we wanted to equal last year’s win total,” File, the first-year coach, recalled of his bold goal setting in early December.   Well, more than a month and a half later, File and the Pirates have played eight games since that loss.   File and the Pirates have won eight games since that loss.   “To accomplish that mission and equal the win total was a pretty big deal to these guys,” File said.   Now comes the chance to eclipse it in…
