We’re nearly halfway through this girls basketball season, and with every week that passes the Michigan Power Ratings become a more accurate picture of what the state’s teams have accomplished this season – and a forecaster of which two will be seeded first and second and on opposite sides of District brackets in March.
MI Student Aid
MPR is based on results against other MHSAA Tournament opponents during the regular season. Several lists, showing all teams together, separately by division or broken down even further by District, can be found on the MPR page. A “snapshot in time” look of the top 20 in each division will be provided every Monday on the Girls Basketball Rankings page, and MPR also helps determine which games and teams are highlighted in every week’s “Breslin Bound” report.
“Breslin Bound” is powered by MI Student Aid and based on results and schedules posted for each school at MHSAA.com.
Week in Review
The countdown of last week’s five most intriguing results:
1. Ishpeming 57, Negaunee 53 The Hematites (6-0) handed the Miners (9-1) their only loss, and also the first in this series since Feb. 26, 2015, as Negaunee had won the last 17 meetings between the rivals.
2. Rockford 55, Grand Haven 38 The Rams (9-0) also won a matchup of undefeated teams, staying atop the Ottawa-Kent Conference Red with East Kentwood and with the Buccaneers (8-1) one of three teams one game back.
3. Lansing Catholic 62, Portland 34 The reigning Class B champion Cougars (4-3) pushed back past .500 by handing the Raiders (8-1) their lone loss this winter.
4. St. Charles 45, Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart 27 St. Charles (7-1) extended its winning streak to seven and moved into first alone in the Mid-State Activities Conference by handing the Irish (8-1) their lone defeat.
5. Bath 35, Dansville 17 The Bees (7-0) continued their perfect start coming off last season’s 7-15 finish, handing this loss to the reigning Central Michigan Athletic Conference champion after losing to the Aggies (5-2) by 10 a year ago.

Are you interested in becoming a member of the St. Charles Community Schools Board of Education?
The role of a school board member is crucial in ensuring that the district stays true to its vision and mission. As a board, we work in collaboration with the Superintendent to allocate resources for our students and staff to achieve their goals. Our primary focus is on issues such as policy, academic growth, budget allocation, superintendent performance, and other oversight issues.
Each board member brings their own unique strengths, talents, and abilities to the board. When these are used constructively, we create a synergy that reflects the contributions of each individual member. This role requires a strong passion for education and a commitment of time, assistance, and dedication to the district and the community who voted for you to serve in this role.
If you're interested in joining the St. Charles Board of Education, please refer to the posting below for more information on how to apply for the open seats.

Mr. King Teaches STC Students Woodworking.
Students start with the basics. They learn safety first. Beginners are then taught the foundation of woodworking and then as their skills increase they are encouraged to make more advanced projects. It is fun to see their creativity and skills improve.
