Reese will be taking on Vassar tonight in the Mix 92.1 Game of the Week. Derek and I will have coverage starting around 7pm. Reese (5-1) enters Vulcan Country averaging 61 points per game. They are led by junior Amber Gotham (pictured) who is averaging around 17 points per game. The Vulcans have one of the area's best defenses only giving up 36 points per game. The Vulcans are led by junior Kayla Verbeek who is averaging about 13 points per game and over 10 rebounds. Look for game story here . I will try to update scores as well. Also remember to check out side rail for both boys and girls records.

I just got back from North Branch where Willie Deshetsky's Lady Broncos defeated the Imlay City Lady Spartans 47-31. I was pleasantly surprised with North Branch. They play pretty good defense and are quite deep. They may surprise a few teams this year. I am looking forward to seeing them again on Friday night in Frankenmuth.
