Cards win third straight district championship

Onaway won its third straight district title with another thriller on the home court.

Mason Beebe’s running jumper in the paint off a pretty feed from Jadin Mix with 11 seconds remaining in a tie game was the district championship winner, 58-55. They defeated a very talented Inland Lakes squad and improved their record to 21-3.

The Cardinals’ will play in the regional tournament with a matchup Monday at Pellston against Mackinaw City, who the Cards played twice during the regular season with the home team taking both.
