STURGIS — Not every high school hoops team played a game during the holiday break. There were a handful of squads, though, that took to the courts during the multiple weeks out of school.
Niles-Brandywine won the holiday hoops tournament hosted by the Sturgis girls last week. The Lady Bobcats, one of the better programs in Southwest Michigan under the coaching of Josh Hood, beat Sturgis 55-45 in the finals. Sturgis coach Andy Phillips said he was pleased with his team’s efforts, even in defeat, as they were able to press the Bobcats and cause them some problems.

Madison Webb of Sturgis powers her way up for two points against Niles-Brandywine in holiday hoops on Friday.
