After dropping a pair of games at a tournament over winter break, the Superior Central boys basketball team got back on track last Friday. The Cougars were hosting Engadine in a nonconference contest, and they were able to lead the entire game, resulting in a 5135 victory.

Superior Central’s boys basketball team just couldn’t find the offensive touch in its two days at the Carney-Nadeau Holiday Tournament last Friday and Saturday. The Cougars lost to Hannahville in their opening-round game, 56-38, then came up short against Rapid River in the consolation contest, 33-26.

Munising’s boys basketball team didn’t take much time off over the holiday break. On Thursday, Dec. 26, the Mustangs traveled to Ishpeming to take on the Westwood Patriots, who got 30 points from Ethan Marta in a 6451 victory.

A rough night at the free-throw line isn’t how any coach wants to close out a game. The Munising girls basketball team and head coach Matt Mattson had to endure just that, however, when they shot 33 percent from the charity stripe on Dec.

It took a late rally in regulation to do it, but the Superior Central boys basketball team was able to get its first win of the season on Dec. 16. The Cougars, playing at Carney-Nadeau, escaped with an exciting 55-50 overtime victory.

The Superior Central girls basketball team went up against Crystal Falls Forest Park in a home game on Dec. 19. The Cougars played well defensively but weren’t able to find enough touch on offense, falling 37-22 as a result.
