Grand Marais welcomed in Maplewood Baptist Academy for a Northern Lights League basketball game on Monday. The Polar Bears were able to outlast the Black Bears to get the win, 45-39.

A balanced scoring effort. A stingy defense. A lopsided victory. The sixth ranked Munising boys basketball team had all three of those on Tuesday, Jan. 30 when they took down visiting Bark River-Harris, 64-17.

There’s a growing number of people that are circling Ishpeming as a favorite to make a serious run at a Division 4 girls basketball state championship. Munising was witness to just how good the number-oneranked Lady Hematites are on Saturday, traveling there for an afternoon game, which they lost 78-32.
