The No. 2-ranked Brandywine girls basketball team will have the home court advantage for the Class C Regional Tournament, which begins Tuesday.

For the first time in school history, Brandywine will host a girls regional basketball game.

The Bobcats (21-1) face Schoolcraft (11-11) in the opening game at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Undefeated Gobles (23-0), a final four team in 2014, will face Grandville Calvin Christian (18-4) in the second game, which is scheduled to tip-off at approximately 7:15 p.m.

The winners advance to the 7 p.m. championship game Thursday.

The Bobcats return to the regional semifinals after being upset by New Buffalo last season.

Schoolcraft defeated BCS Athletic Conference member Centreville 44-32 to reach the regional tournament.

Gobles remained undefeated with a 55-26 win over Kalamazoo Christian and Calvin Christian defeated Fennville 59-27 to reach the regional semifinals.
