Thanks to the polar vortex of 2019, area athletes have missed quite a few days of school and practice.

Many area high schools are on their fifth consecutive snow day and some like Montague, are on their sixth day off.

Despite the vortex break, there are still boys and girls varsity basketball games on the docket for Friday night. And that means the LSJ is back in action.

Tonight’s LSJ coverage features the undefeated Grand Haven girls squad hosting Zeeland West. This is a special game for Bucs fans and players as both the girls and boys contests will be played in Lakeshore Middle School’s gym (900 Cutler St), formerly known as The Pirate’s Pit.
