Did you happened to catch the last couple of paragraph’s of Ron Montri’s coverage of State Line Christian’s boys basketball game from Friday night? The Patriots not only won its home game against Springfield Friday — it also beat Plymouth Grace. How did that happen? The Plymouth Grace squad showed up at State Line a week early. They were supposed to play at State Line next week. But, instead of sending them home, State Line decided to play that game after they played the scheduled game with Springfield. So, they took two wins Friday night.

By the way, there are some big games coming up this week for Region boys basketball teams. Ron has a preview in today’s basketball advance that will be posted online about noon. The biggest has 10-0 Whiteford hosting 9-1 Adrian Madison Tuesday. It’s the third time ever, incidentally, Whiteford has been 10-0. The first time was 1979-80 when they won the first 10 games, cracked the Associated Press state rankings, then lost two in a row. The second time was 2002-03 when they won the first 23 games of the season.

Here are the latest records for boys teams in the Region:

Whiteford 10-0
Ida 8-1
SMCC 8-3
Lutheran South 5-3
