As the Macomb Area Conference girls basketball season heads into the second half , the competition gets tougher and the implications get more important. Here are a few of the key upcoming showdowns as teams battle to stay at the top of their respective MAC divisions.
St. Clair Shores South Lake at Clinton Township Clintondale, 7 p.m. Jan. 16
These two teams have battled for the MAC Silver title for the past three years. Last year, (2006) Clintondale won it. The year before that, South Lake took the title. Though both teams are struggling a bit this year — the Cavs were 1-1 in league play and the Dragons were 0-2 prior to play Jan. 11 — when they get together, its always a great game.
Grosse Pointe North at Fraser High, 7 p.m. Jan. 18
North and Fraser are the cream of the MAC Red crop this year and have developed a great rivalry. Prior to play Jan. 11, both teams were undefeated in league play. This should be a classic.
Eastpointe East Detroit hosts Roseville High, 7 p.m. Jan. 18
Nothing says Friday night like a crosstown rivalry. While Roseville has three-straight wins over the Shamrocks, Amy Altman's crew is determined to put an end to the streak.
Clinton Township Clintondale at Madison Heights Madison at 7 p.m. Jan. 22
Again, the MAC Silver triangle of Madison-Clintondale-South Lake comes to a head as these two teams duel. Madison's ace, Meesha Nolen, will be a good match for Clintondale's Dionne Washington and Gaby Adams.
Utica Ford II at Clinton Township Chippewa Valley, 7 p.m. Jan. 24
Here you'll see two top guns in action: Ford II's Lea Jones and Chippewa Valley's Claire Cannon. They can both shoot from long range, and the two of them on the same court is worth the price of admission.
