Duo has Springport riding high in girls basketball

Alana Nelson (54) of Springport High School looks for an open teammate during a home game Monday against Homer.  By Jeff Steers JTV Sports   Springport High School girls’ varsity basketball Coach Rick Saldana calls players Alex Maher and Alana Nelson his “Kobe and Shaq.” Only at times it is hard to tell who is playing Kobe and who is supposed to be Shaq. Nelson likes to take over at the point guard position and be the team leader like Kobe. But most players in the Big Eight Conference will tell you she plays hard inside in Shaq. Maher likes to get physical inside and grab rebounds that others miss. But the junior is the leader on the floor who sets the offensive tone in a game. Either way Maher and Nelson have Springport on top in the Big Eight with a chance to win three titles – albeit not NBA titles – before they graduate in 2020. The Spartans are 9-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Eight following a 58-25 win over Homer Monday night at home. After starting the season at 0-2 – with losses to Grass Lake and Leslie – the Spartans are on a nine-game…

Springport restarts conference winning streak

Photos by Jeff Steers,  JTV Jeff Steers                                    JTV Sports   In the northwest corner of the Springport High School gym there is a wrestling banner that gives a subtle reminder of how the Spartans have dominated the sport in the Big Eight Conference. From the years 2000-2016 (and probably 2017 and 2018) the Spartans won the conference every season except for 2009. Jonesville surprised the Spartans in a dual meet that year. Last week, the Spartans lost another Big Eight match to newcomers Bronson High School. In between the two defeats, the Spartans accumulated a 66-match winning streak – unheard of in any sport. The one-point loss to Bronson means the Spartans will have to win the conference meet and hope that another team defeats the Vikings in a dual match or at the final meet. The Spartans restarted their streak with a 69-9 win over Homer, and a 79-0 win over Concord at home Wednesday to celebrate senior night…

Concord seeking third win in a row over top rival Homer

By Mike Moore, JTV Sports  Concord — Rivalries are built on past happenings, and in most cases, an even record going back and forth. When it comes to Concord High and Homer football, neither school will likely boast of a strong rivalry, though Homer had taken the fun out of it in recent years, winning six games in a row.   That all changed in 2016, when Concord won in Week 2, and then eliminated the Trojans in a Division 7 district final.   Rivalry on!   Rivalry renewed Thursday night.   “We’re pretty excited for the opportunity,” Concord coach Max Clark said of Thursday’s game. “We think Homer is going to be extremely motivated, considering how last year went. We’re going to have to raise the bar in terms of how we play.”   After six losses in a row, Concord won last year’s early season meeting 28-26 in a game that was as close as the score would suggest.   Then in the D-7 district final, the Yellowjackets cruised to a 48-32 victory.   “I think it’s difficult enough on its own,” Clark said of the match up. “But I think they have a great motivation factor having…
