The District championships are here and there are some tremendous games on tap. Let’s look at 5 must see Division 2 district championship games. <h3>Portland vs. Lansing Catholic</h3> THE DETAILS District 49 at Ionia 3/4 at 7PM THE TEAMS Portland:  20-1 Lansing Catholic:  19-2 KEY PLAYERS <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253597" first="Ashley" last="Bower"] (2022, SG, Portland)</strong> The senior star appears ready to lead Portland on a run to another state title. Standing in their way is a very good Lansing Catholic squad. Bower is a consistent high level scorer and has loads of big game experience that will be so important in this contest. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244291" first="Leah" last="Richards"] (2024, F, Lansing Catholic)</strong> Richards is a terrific young player and a tough matchup for any team. She had a huge second half in a win over Portland almost a month ago. Richards has the ability to do it again. <h3>Chelsea vs. Tecumseh</h3> THE DETAILS District 52 at Adrian 3/4 at 6PM THE TEAMS Chelsea:  18-3 Tecumseh:  19-2 KEY PLAYERS <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244286" first="Leila" last="Wells"] (2024, SG, Chelsea)</strong> Wells is smooth and athletic, always keeping control of every movement. While she can score at almost any time, Wells is a team player that makes those around her even better. <strong>Allie Zajac (2025, F, Tecumseh)</strong> Zajac is one of the most exciting freshman basketball players in the state. She can score from all 3 levels as well as control the defensive glass. Zajac will try to help defeat a Chelsea team that handed Tecumseh their only 2 losses of the season. <h3>Westfield Prep vs. Detroit Cody</h3> THE DETAILS District 55 at Dearborn Advanced Tech Academy 3/4 at 6PM THE TEAMS Westfield Prep:  19-1 Detroit Cody:  6-7 KEY PLAYERS <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="189300" first="Shamya" last="Reid"] (2023, PG, Westfield Prep)</strong> Reid is a jittery point guard that seems to get in the lane off the bounce at will. She’s a creative passer that will be nearly impossible to stop. If Reid controls the pace, Westfield Prep wins the title. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178851" first="Aiyanna" last="Tanksley"] (2022, SF, Detroit Cody)</strong> While her Cody team is a definite underdog, Tanksley gives them a big reason to stay confident. She’s a tough athlete off the wing and has had some huge scoring game this season, including a 50 point outburst against Detroit Southeastern. <h3>Saginaw Swan Valley vs. Freeland</h3> THE DETAILS District 38 at Essexville Garber 3/4 at 6PM THE TEAMS Saginaw Swan Valley:  17-4 Freeland:  17-5 KEY PLAYERS <strong>Rachel Resio (2023, PG, Swan Valley)</strong> Resio could be one of the most improved players in the state. She’s confident right now and is shooting at passing at a high level. Can she help avenge last weeks loss to Freeland? <strong>Mackenzie Keefer (2022, SF, 2022)</strong> The savvy veteran will play a huge role in determining the outcome of this game. She was the leading scorer in a Freeland win over Swan Valley about a week ago. <h3>Frankenmuth vs. Saginaw</h3> THE DETAILS District 39 at Clio 3/4 at 7PM THE TEAMS Frankenmuth:  19-2 Saginaw:  12-8 KEY PLAYERS <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147726" first="Zoey" last="Persails"] (2022, CG, Frankenmuth)</strong> The star guard will be at Davenport University next season. She has an excellent skill set on the court, but it may be her experience and leadership that’s most valuable. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253603" first="Sharon" last="Smith"] (2022, PG, Saginaw)</strong> The quick guard with a fast first step can score, dish, and defend. If Smith has a huge game, Saginaw can stay in it and try to pull off the upset.
