By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Something had to give when the Columbia Central High School boys’ varsity basketball team visited Concord on Monday night. Both teams were 0-1 heading into the game with new head coaches looking for their first win at their respective schools. In the end, Concord’s experience paid off in a 51-48 win over the Golden Eagles Monday night. First-year Coach Marcus Gill is coaching in the high school ranks after a stint as the junior varsity coach at Albion College. CCHS Coach Troy Stewart is the new head of the basketball program at Columbia Central. Gill said he wanted to get into the high school ranks since his son is a freshman at Concord and he has a younger son also interested in the sport. He stresses defense and hustle. “I tell our players no matter what, if you defend and rebound you have a chance to win every single night,” Gill said after the win. “Hopefully our offense will catch up to our defense.” Neither team’s offenses…

Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Four local cross country runners earned all-state honors at the Michigan High School Athletic Association state finals held Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. A muddy course led to higher than normal times at the 5,000-meter course. Runners competed in the annual state finals in 40-degree weather and occasional rain. In Division 4, Concord High School runner Skylar Thompson earned all-state honors for a third consecutive year. She finished 14th individually as a freshman and sophomore. Saturday, she finished in 19 minutes, 38 seconds finishing fifth overall. “My goal was to finish in the top seven,” Thompson said. “It was pretty muddy, but not as bad as I though. “During warmup we talked about which side of the course to run on.” In Division 3, three local runners earned all-state honors by finishing in the top 30. Lumen Christi Catholic High School runners Renae Kutcha finished 20th and Faith Smith was 22nd in 19:34 and 19:35 respectively. “I…
Comets Win State XC Title; Frohm 2nd
The Hanover-Horton High School boys’ cross country team won the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state title at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Garrett Melling of Hanover-Horton High School made a move two months ago at the Springport Invitational that somewhat surprised Coach Dean Blackledge. He took a step away from the pack and became the leader. The leader-of-the-pack mentality became contagious as everyone wanted to be the king of the hill. The result was a Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state title Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. The Comets finished with 146 points to defeat Grandville Calvin Christian (183) and Charlevoix (184). It is the second boys’ state title for Hanover-Horton in three years. “Garrett took a risk by getting out of the pack,” Blackledge said. “Then Andy (Swihart) and Dean (Reynolds) followed. “We didn’t run great today, but we were the toughest team out there who loves to compete.” Two days of rain made for a muddy track at MIS – especially in the final one kilometer. “It was a lot better out there than I thought,” Melling said of the course. “We…
