T racy Hudson wasn’t even alive when Escanaba last won any basketball regional title.
Now Hudson and Escanaba’s 6-foot-7 duo of Colin and Carter Hudson have led Escanaba into its first state quarterfinal since 1960.
Escanaba survived yet another game-ending buzzer-beating 3-pointer to beat Ludington 41-38 in Thursday’s Division 2 regional at Traverse City Central. Both Escanaba’s boys and girls advanced to the elite eight for the first time in school history after the girls beat Ludington Wednesday.
