Final Buzzer: Sexton at Eastern

I can honestly say Friday's Sexton/Eastern boys basketball game was the best I've watched this season. And the girls game was a solid one too. Here are some final thoughts as the girls regular season comes to a close, and the boys enters its final week.

Program Win

Final Buzzer: Okemos at East Lansing

Not too many surprises Friday from the rematches between host East Lansing and Okemos.

Check back Feb. 16

Get Prepped will return then. But check out our midseason basketball report Thursday, and feel free to leave some comments here about others we should be watching or highlights you've noticed so far.

Big Red Success

It's pretty much an accepted sign of signing day in mid-Michigan -- the Sexton football program will send someone to college, and usually more than any other local team. And that's no different this winter.
