Quote from: oldknight on November 29, 2025, 08:18:54 AMThe only thing to add is the great job Calvin defenders did on Heidelberg's Markell Johnson-Nichols, who came into the game shooting 76.9% from 3 point range. Calvin defenders limited the sharpshooter from Reynoldsburg Ohio to a mere 66.7% night from the arc, and the young man's 3-point average has now plummeted to 75% (12-16) shooting this season. Markell's 3-point shooting career started slow as the Heidelberg junior is now shooting 52.9% from the arc, going 39-74 the last 3 seasons

Of course, Alma beating Adrian renders it moot with Alma owning the head-to-head over Hope. Thankful for the expanded field... in years prior that loss would have knocked Hope out, which would really have been a raw deal.

Has the MIAA had a player from Maine before, or will Trevon Thomas be the first?

Great hire for Trine. Welcome back to the MIAA, Jon.

Thanks for doing these again this year, Darryl; here and on the women's page.

Quote from: Dutchfan on November 08, 2024, 07:45:40 PMWhy is the Hope/Calvin game not being played at Grand Valley?

Lubbers stadium seats 36,000, is conveniently located, and is not being used tomorrow.

It was a Calvin home game; I assume they wanted to play it in their home stadium.

Only a true Dutchman can spell Petroelje correctly but have a typo in Hudsonville. 🙂

Alma @ Hope for homecoming this weekend. Could very well be the MIAA Championship game.

I have a hard time with DePauw and JCU. One just doesn't play anyone good. The other lost to the #4 and #6 teams in the country. For now, I put DePauw 2. The winner in Holland this weekend will almost certainly hop them in my rankings next week. JCU went toe to toe with Mount for 3.5 quarters. I just can't bring myself to put them lower until Hope or Alma shows me more.

The game is at Alma on Saturday.

Congrats to Calvin on starting off with a win. Smart move scheduling Oberlin for your program opener.

Final Top 25 is out.
#1:  Trine
