Girls teams close in on league titles Not only will Tuesday’s Dexter-Huron winner claim a victory between first-place teams, it will have the inside track toward claiming the first conference championship of 2013.
The Dreadnaughts and River Rats have two-game leads in the SEC White and SEC Red, respectively, and either can clinch at least a share of a league title with undefeated weeks. Dexter can win the league outright this week, since it faces second-place Chelsea Friday, while Huron could clinch at least a share of the title.
The Manchester girls, out to a 9-0 start to the league season, can wrap up their second straight Cascades Conference title next week.
