UNDATED (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 29, 2025) – In high school girls basketball scheduled for late this morning at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, West Ottawa faces Zeeland East.

Tomorrow evening, the Buccaneers host the Dutch after the Maroons take on Petoskey, and on Wednesday afternoon, it will be Holland Christian against Grand Haven, followed by Holland versus Onekama.
