Decision day is upon us

It’s all going to come down to one night for area girls basketball championships this week.

OK make that two nights -- Thursday and Friday nights.

The BVC will be decided on Thursday night. Leipsic has already gained a piece of the championship. But if things shake out a certain way, there could be a four-way tie atop the BVC final standings.

The conference is much more balanced and better overall on the girls side than the boys side. If Arcadia can spring the upset and knock off Leipsic the Redskins will earn a share of the title. If Van Buren and Liberty-Benton also win their BVC finales that will make it a four-way tie for the crown.

The Redskins haven’t played really well lately, but Leipsic struggled Monday in a 68-37 loss to an excellent Ottoville team.

The basketballing ladies of the BVC are outstanding and since the conference gives out a championship and runner-up trophy (another topic for another day) anyway what’s a league championship shared among 4 friends?

The other championship night will be Friday night when Findlay hosts Marion Harding in a key GBC game. FHS fans are asked to dress in white for a “white out.”

The Trojans need a win or their title hopes are over. They are catching a bit of a break as Marion Harding rescheduled it’s game with Thomas Worthington for Thursday so the Presidents will have to play on back to back nights.

With a loss earlier this season to Marion Harding the Trojans need a win to have a chance at a title share. My guess is that this week’s quirk of fate and change in the schedule plays right into Findlay High School’s hands.

    4 potential champs is all well and good, but will a bvc girls team ever do anything in the post-season?

    4 teams very deserving of a quad-championship! Good luck to BVC teams down the tournament trail.
