LAKEVILLE — Triton hit the floor Friday night looking as though the Northern State Conference championship was a foregone conclusion.

PLYMOUTH — Anarchy and chaos are not always a bad thing.
A second half commitment by Plymouth to its “chaos defense” — every passing lane, every shot, every dribble challenged for the fullcourt — produced a tidal wave that Goshen could not recover from in a 59-34 Northern Lakes Conference win for the Pilgrims.
“I give our assistant coaches a lot of credit,” said Plymouth head coach Ryan Bales. “They made the recommendation that we press and get after it a little more, and our kids executed that game plan.”
CULVER — Defense and a drive propelled John Glenn to a boys-girls Northern State Conference basketball doubleheader sweep at Culver Community Friday.

In the opener, Kyler Columbia drove the length of the floor for a buzzer-beating layup to hand Glenn an improbable 50-49 overtime win.
JOHN GLENN 44, CULVER 37
