The top two teams in Class C will square off in the quarterfinals at Comstock Park High School Tuesday night.

Hanging in the balance for No. 1-ranked Laingsburg (25-0) and No. 2-ranked Brandywine (23-1) is a trip to East Lansing and the Breslin Center Thursday afternoon for the Class C semifinals.

When the Wolfpack and Bobcats get together Tuesday night, do not expect either team to give an inch on defense.

“The first thing that jumps out about Laingsburg is its defense,” Brandywine coach Josh Hood said. “They do a phenomenal job of switching screens, limiting vertical penetration and rebounding. When you can hold teams to an average around 20 points per game in the postseason your going have success.”

Brandywine is giving up a few more points than that per game (37.0), but the Bobcats have also blown out three of their four postseason opponents which allowed Hood to substitute more freely.

Offensively, the Wolfpack is not nearly as proficient at Brandywine.

“On offense they are extremely balanced with their leading scorer Lindsey Smith averaging around 11 points per game,” Hood said. “They can all shoot, put it on the floor and are fundamentally sound. They really like to spread the opponent out and get penetration or back cuts.”

Brandywine will come into Tuesday night’s game averaging 60.0 points per game in the state tournament. Laingsburg has only scored 60 points once the entire season and its tournament high is 45 against Bath.

While Brandywine has been beating teams by double digits in the postseason, the Wolfpack have had to claw their way to a couple of victories.

“They are very well coached and their kids play with lots of energy at all time,” Hood said. “They also have won several close games, which means their kids are mentally tough. Should be a great game with both teams battling to get to the Breslin. Our kids are very excited at the opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the state Tuesday night.”

The winner advances to face either Tawas (21-4) or Calumet (21-2) in the first semifinal Thursday at 1 p.m. The finals are set for 4 p.m. Saturday at the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University.
