Bridgman went through the regular season and the Lakeland Conference Tournament undefeated to take the overall league championship.

The Bees were rewarded for their dominance by placing three players on the first team of the all-conference squad, as well as having Woody Wollery named Coach of the Year.

In all, Bridgman had seven players selected to the all-league squad.

Brandywine’s Jordan Hatch was a first team selection, while Buchanan’s Carsten McCarty also was a first team pick. Edwardsburg’s Evan VanBelle and Josh Clark earned similar honors.
