District championship didn’t end how we wanted, but I’m proud of our fight this season. Thank you Coach @DerekSeidl for believing in me and giving me the opportunity as a freshman. And congrats to my teammate Tyler Nall on reaching the 1,000-point club—well deserved!

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

Probably a wimp for not driving to Hanover-Horton tonight, but was still able to enjoy @NapoleonHoops 60-52 win compliments of @Hudl TV. That's 8 out of 9 for the much-improved Pirates as they begin the toughest stretch of their schedule!

Thanks to @umichwbball, @umichbball, @MSU_WBasketball, @MSU_Basketball & @BCAMCoaches for supporting this must-needed change to HS 🏀 in Michigan!

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

According to the NFHS, Michigan remains one of only 19 states nationwide that has yet to employ the shot clock in high school basketball. At what point do we do what's best for the game and its participants?
🤷‍♂️🤦

PIRATES WIN! 🏀
We move to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in the conference with a win over the Jayhawks!

This may not be popular among 🏀 purists, but I love that college & pro officials, when it comes to traveling, only call the obvious ones. This Michigan-Xavier game is a great example. Conversely, it’s hard to watch HS officials who focus on nothing else & kill the flow of games.

Here are some individual numbers from last night's win! #GoPirates #GRIT

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

The Javier Baez homer caught me off guard, but not as much as seeing @Danac_BigHam and @DerekSeidl mixing it up for the ⚾️ at Comerica Park tonight! Looks like Dana had a decent shot, too.

As for Derek wearing a long-sleeve black shirt in the ☀️ field, well…🤦🏼‍♂️

[Napoleon Boys' Basketball @NapoleonHoops]

Congratulations to the class of 2024 as they graduate today! 🎓
Their list of accomplishments is long, and the basketball court is no exception!
Over their 4 years, we have a cumulative record of 71-14 and won back-to-back league titles, snapping a 14 year drought!

Congrats to DeVonta Habern on earning AP All State 2nd Team honors! #GoPirates

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

Congrats to @NapoleonHoops senior @Tay_tooCold30 on being named to the Associated Press Division 3 All-State 2nd Team! A well-deserved honor for the Pirates’ point guard…

[Napoleon Boys' Basketball @NapoleonHoops]

We came up just a little bit short last night in the district final. Huge shout out to the students and community for the support! The crowd and environment were incredible! #GoPirates

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

Nothing to hang heads about when it comes to @NapoleonHoops! True, they deserved better last night and had to stomach some ridiculous antics, but back-2-back league 🏆🏆, another 20-win season and a county-best 71-14 record since 2020 is phenomenal! And they do it the right way!

[Napoleon Boys' Basketball @NapoleonHoops]

To go with his All-Conference Dream Team selection, @Tay_tooCold30 was also voted as the Cascades Conference MVP! #GoPirates #ALLIN #JobsNotFinished

[Joey Ellis @Jellis1016]

It’s now back-to-back Cascades championships for @NapoleonHoops after a big second half over Hanover-Horton Saturday.

The @umichbaseball commit @grantbradley101 had 24 points to push the Pirates’ win streak to 13!

[Matt Seidl @FromTheSeidline]

Not sure who was more excited about this dunk last night — Napoleon point guard @Tay_tooCold30, his teammates or camera operator @Danac_BigHam! 🏀👀😂

[Napoleon Boys' Basketball @NapoleonHoops]

With tonight's victory, we have clinched a share of the Cascades Conference East Division title! 🏆
We will wait until Wednesday night to see where we slot in Saturday's Crossover game.
