No. 3 Northridge girls basketball falls to No. 2 Homestead in key clash

MIDDLEBURY — The best news to come out of a tough home loss for the Northridge High School girls basketball team may be that Lily Scholl was wearing a smile following it. Scholl, the senior star for the Raiders, left the game with 35 seconds to play after going down and grabbing her left leg. The No. 3 Raiders dropped a 57-50 final to No. 2 Homestead in Jayco Arena Wednesday, Nov. 11, in a clash of Class 4A powers.

The Spring Arbor recruit averaged 18 points and seven rebounds as a junior to lead the Raiders to a semi-state semifinal game.

South Bend Tribune staff predicts IHSAA football regional championships

And then there were three. After last week’s sectional slate where seven South Bend Tribune coverage area teams competed for championships, only Penn , Concord and Northridge emerged victorious. The Kingsmen and Minutemen are back in the regional round for a second straight season, while the Raiders advanced past sectional play for the first time since 2022. All three of these squads are favored to capture regional crowns come Friday night, but does The Tribune’s staff agree? More: All of the 2026 fall sports all-Northern Indiana Conference teams Find out below. IHSAA 6A Regional Championship: No. 6 Penn (11-0) at No. 5 Crown Point (11-0), 7:30 p.m. ET Analysis: This should be one of the most competitive games in the state this week, and certainly the most competitive in The Tribune coverage area. It’s a game many Kingsmen players have been looking forward to for years, such as senior Mohammad Al-Gburi, who said beating the Bulldogs in last season’s sectional championship game wasn’t enough revenge after Crown Point ended Penn’s season when he was a freshman and a sophomore. You’d have to assume the feeling is mutual on the other side after Penn beat the Bulldogs by just four points

Sturgis schools weigh new bond after May rejection

STURGIS, MI – A three-part bond proposal to fund upgrades throughout the Sturgis Public Schools campus is being examined for consideration next year, months after a similar, $98 million request was nixed by voters. The board of education and district administrators on Nov. 6 and Nov. 9, discussed a potential $86.7 million proposal, one that could be broken into sections by academic and athletic priority. All told, the proposal in development would see a millage rate of about 6.95 mills. The matter is still in the discussion phase, but will need to be finalized by January to make deadline for a spring ballot measure, district officials said. More: Sturgis holiday events bring festive fun to downtown A potential first request, estimated at about $51.2 million, would seek funding for academic infrastructure, such as bathroom renovations, roof replacements, barrier-free access and security improvements, technology, library renovations, classroom renovations, parking, drives and site work. A second request would focus on reduced athletic complex upgrades at $9.2 million, including new LED stadium lighting, a new grandstand at the soccer field and soil remediation, a reduction of more than $12 million over May’s proposal.

Coach Robbie Hattan has brought the magic back to Colon football

COLON ― The combination of Colon football and Robbie Hattan seems to be special. When that combo, they're magical. When they are apart, not as much. Coach Hattan and his Colon Magi are making a deep run in the playoffs once again, just like they did several years ago when that first was the partnership. No. 3 Colon will play in the state semifinals in 8-player Division 1 as the Magi face No. 1-ranked Montabella at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Greenville High School. MORE: Colon tops Climax-Scotts to get back to the Final Four in 8-player division football The last time Colon made a similar run was 2021, with Hattan also as the head coach, as the Magi made the state finals. Colon was back in the second round the next year before Hattan took his coaching whistle to Pennfield in 2023. In the three years Hattan was at Pennfield, Colon failed to make the playoffs. He returned this fall ― and the magic was back. "Colon is home to me. Coming back was a no-brainer," Hattan said. "I was driving an hour to Pennfield every day from Colon. Having a young family. I was missing a lot
