Lakewood senior Phillip Butler qualified
for the MHSAA Division 3 Individual Bowl-
ing Finals for the fourth time with a run-
ner-up finish at the Division 4 regional hosted
by Royal Scot in Lansing Friday.
Butler will have company at the state finals
this year, joined by teammate Lucas Beard
who was fifth at the regional and by the
whole Viking team that placed second to
Portland in the team regional competition last
Thursday in Lansing.
Butler and Olivet senior Levi Rigelman were
back and forth in the overall tally at the top
Friday along with Portland junior Zackary
McAllister. The three finished within three pins
of each other after four games had been rolled.
Rigelman took the regional singles cham-
pionship with an overall pin-fall of 1,253.
Butler was second at 1,252 and McAllister
third at 1,250.
Butler twice has advanced through qualify-
ing at the state finals to compete in the
16-team match-play bracket, falling in the
opening round there both times.
The top seven bowlers at the regional
earned spots in this Saturday’s MHSAA Divi-
sion 4 Individual Bowling Finals at JAX-
in Jackson. The team finals will be contested
Friday in Jackson.
Napoleon’s Reichen Clark was fourth with
an overall score of 1,182 and Beard fifth at
1,177. Also qualifying for the state finals
were Clinton’s Lucas Goodman and Port-
land’s Dre Bigford-Cross who were sixth and
seventh respectively.
Lakewood also had Justin Edwards roll to
a 21st-place finish, Sam Mazurek 28th, Vance
O’Mara 36th and Harley Noling 39th in a
group of 61 bowlers.
Butler got off to a great start with a 245 in
his first game of the day Saturday. Bowlers
change lanes and conditions change through-
out the tournament, often causing swings.
McAllister had the lead by two pins after two
games over Butler, and Butler led by four
after three games.Rigelman was still 69 pins back of Butler
at that midway point point, but things swung
as the turned in back-to-back 233 games. The
Olivet leader, Rigelman, would go into the
final game leading Butler by three pins and
hold on for the regional championship
despite the Viking senior outscoring him
198-196 in the final game.
Beard also had an outstanding start rolling
a 242 for his highest score of the day. He had
a 238 for his next highest tally of the day.
In the team regional contest Friday, Portland
beat out the Vikings 3,219 to 3,148 for the
regional championship, but the top two teams
advance to the team state competition from
regionals. Quincy placed third, 40 pins behind
the Vikings at the 14-team competition after
eight Baker games and two regular team games.
Lakewood had high regular games of 236
and 193 throughout the day and put up Baker
tallies of 881 and 866.
Quincy had an overall pin-fall of 3,
ahead of Lansing Catholic 3,055 and Olivet
3,054 in the top five.Marshall spoils Saxon senior night

It was a tough end to the Interstate-8 Ath-
letic Conference season for the Saxons on
senior night Friday.
Marshall took its second win of the confer-
ence season over the Hastings boys, outscor-
ing them 60-23.
Marshall moved its conference record to
5-7 with the win.
Both teams were currently 9-13 overall this
season heading into their separate district
semifinal ballgames last night. The Saxons
were set to host Holland Christian in a Divi-
sion 2 District Semifinal while the Marshall
boys were in Vicksburg to face Pennfield in
their Division 2 District Semifinal.
Hastings head coach Jess Webb said
despite their overall record, the RedHawks
are as tough as anybody his team faces in theInterstate-8 Athletic Conference and are a
tough match-up.
He said his team hd some good looks at
the basket, but just couldn’t get them to
fall.
The Saxons were 4-8 in the conference this
season, finishing in fifth place a spot behind
the Marshall boys. Parma Western took the
2023-24 I-8 Conference title with an 11-
league mark.DK gets win five at Coloma
in regular season finale

The Delton Kellogg varsity girls’ basket-
ball team closed out the 2023-24 regular
season with a 41-19 win at Coloma Tuesday.
DK head coach Mike Mohn said it was a
great way to end the regular season.
Josie Williams had a team-high 12 points,
scoring 11 of those in the first half. Summer
Ritchie had seven points including a 6-of-
performance at the free throw line in the
fourth quarter. Freshman Sanaa Toussant had
a career-high 11 rebounds.
“She was just relentless on the glass when-
ever she was on the floor. Great game from
her,” Mohn said of Toussant.
Overall, the DK girls outrebounded the
Comets 42-29.
Williams also made her presence felt on
the defensive end. She blocked six shots. DK
blocked 12 Comet shots as a team. The DK
team also had 17 steals led by six from Addie
Stampfler.
The Delton Kellogg girls open the MHSAA
Division 3 District Tournament at Kalamazoo
Christian High School Monday taking on
SAC Central foe Galesburg-Augusta. The
Rams won both meetings with the DKHS
girls this winter. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
The winner of Monday’s ballgame will
advance to face host Kalamazoo Christian in
the district semifinals Wednesday, March 6,
at 5:30 p.m.
The SAC Central season came to a close
for the DK girls last Friday at Martin High
School, falling 36-23 to the Clippers. Martin
was without one of its top ballplayers, but
Mohn was still pleased as punch to have his
girls put forth a better effort than they did in
a 59-17 loss when the two teams met back in
Delton last month.
The two teams were tied at 17-17 midwaythrough the third quarter and Martin had just
a four-point lead heading into the fourth quar-
ter where the Clippers kept the DK girls
scoreless.
The Panthers had chances to score in that
fourth quarter. They worked well to get Wil-
liams the ball in the paint a few times, had
some second chance looks and open looks
from outside too, but just couldn’t get any-
thing to fall.
Williams finished with 17 points. No one
else on the DK squad had more than two.
Martin was led by 13 points from Torryn
Harris and eight from Makala Goddard.
The loss dropped the DK girls to 0-10 in
the SAC Central this season. They head into
the state tournament with a 5-16 overall
record.
Martin moved to 8-2 in the SAC Central
with that win finishing second to the confer-
ence champions from Saugatuck.Delton Kellogg girls have

a score of 694.48.
Delton Kellogg finished about 70
points back of the last of the fourth state
qualifying teams with an overall score of
628.32.
“Saturday was a pretty good day,”
Delton Kellogg head coach Zoe Reynoldssaid. “I was proud of all the girls. We had
sickness run through that week, so some
stunt groups had zero practice which is
why round three might have scored a little
lower then we would have liked.”
The Delton Kellogg team had a score of
240.490 in round three Saturday. That fol-
lowed rounds of 205.40 and 182.52 to start
the day. That round two score was the
eighth best of the day.
“Round one was good and clean,” Reyn-
olds said. “Round two was good, but not
our best performance.”
“My seniors definitely pulled their
weight on Saturday and led the team with
positivity and strength,” she added. “Over-
all a great season with a good group of
young ladies.”
Pewamo-Westphalia had the top score
of the day in each round with a 227.00 in
round one, 213.64 in round two and
306.50 in round three.
Norway was seventh in the day’s overall
standings with a score of 662.04 ahead of
