Frankenmuth could never quite overcome a slow start and a vengeful opponent.
The Eagles saw their girls basketball season end Wednesday, dropping a 53-49 decision to Portland in a Division 2 regional final at Corunna High School.
“It was a dogfight, and we won the last three quarters,” Frankenmuth coach Joe Jacobs said. “But they count the first quarter. Portland is well-coached, and they came out motivated to beat us after we ended their season last year.”
