Playing in a key Skyline Central Conference Large Division game at Bark River Harris on Friday, the Munising girls basketball team was not able to get the job done. The Lady Mustangs were in the game early on, but couldn’t keep up as things played out, falling 52-31.

The wins may not be coming as much as they may like, but Superior Central girls basketball head coach Skip Rutter is certainly pleased with how his Lady Cougars are playing, at least on one side of the ball. S-C lost at home to Carney-Nadeau on Monday, Feb. 19, but there were still some positives from the 55-14 setback. “We may run out of time this year to get where we need to be offensively, but we are working very hard to get better defensively,” Rutter said. “And, that showed a little bit against Carney, although the final score does not reflect it. We had a pretty decent couple quarters defensively. We held one of their leading scores to three points. Our goal is to get better on both ends of the floor and try to steal a district game.”

A single game program record. Joining the 1000 point club. It is safe to say that Munising junior Trevor Nolan had a pretty good night on Tuesday, Feb. 13, as he scored a school record 44 points and he also hit the 1000 point mark, in a what was a lopsided 86-44 victory over Rapid River.

The Munising wrestling team had a pretty good showing at the Division 4 individual wrestling regional on Saturday. The meet was held down at Charlevoix, and the Mustangs were able to get Logan Gould, Joe Kelley and Korbyn Smith to all take fourth place to punch their tickets to the state finals.
