Midland - Midland High swept the season series against Mt. Pleasant on Friday night, 59-53.  Both teams battled it out blow for blow in the first half with Midland High holding a 1 point advantage at the break.  Trey Zeigler and Kyle Wakeman led the Oilers and Chemics respectively with 8 points a piece.  The Chemics took charge in the third quarter and never trailed again.  The third quarter became the Kelvin Carter and Andy Angus show for Midland.  The pair fed each other with great teamwork and combined for 13 points in the quarter.  Andrew Thomas kept the Oilers in it with 6 third quarter points of his own.  The Oilers got to within 1 with 6:23 to go in the game on an Eric Layfield offensive rebound and put-back.  It was the closest that they go as Midland High kept their cool down the stretch and hit just enough free throws to ice it at 59-53.

Zeigler led all scorers with 17, while his teammate Thomas had 10.  Angus led the Chemics with 14, Wakeman had 13, Dan Wright had 12 and Carter was held to just 11 but contributed in other big ways.  With the win, the Chemics stay in third place but can't catch Saginaw High at this point but can still finish in 2nd with wins in their last two Valley games and a Flint S.W.A. loss.  Both teams are in the Mt. Pleasant districts when the tournament starts and will be favored to meet in the district final.
