WYOMING, Mich. — The Lee boys basketball program had 11 straight losing seasons before this year when the Legends won 19 games and the Alliance League title.

"Accepting the job two years ago, me and my coaching realized that we had to come in and reshape the culture," Legends head coach Dominic Shannon said. "It's been a long time and we have Lee being competitive and just having fun where the athletic program is really booming."

Lee lost to Godwin Heights in the district tournament on Wednesday 83-80 in overtime despite 27 points from Marc Whitfield and 16 from Joe Russau.
