Why this one matters

Manistee will look to protect home court after edging Montague 49-45 in the teams’ last meeting on Dec. 5, 2025. That tight contest suggests this won’t be a blowout; Montague will be aiming for payback on the road. Both programs have stakes in league positioning as the season moves toward its final weeks.
