Grant 5 Newaygo 1 Coach Gomez de Leon: Due to the rivalry between both Grant and Newaygo, most players and fans look forward to the match. We uphold the idea that we adjust our formation based on the teams we are playing, and this game was no different. Adjustments were made to our defense to encourage offensive play and it worked to our advantage. Our midfield dominated the center of the field and Emme Losee, sophomore center mid, was the playmaker of the game. Right wing player Delaney Cronk, demonstrating her footwork was able to make several runs and achieved her third Hat Trick of the season scoring our first, fourth, and fifth points of the game. Makayla Cronk, playing right wing, had an assist to senior forward Nikki Tellkamp who played smart and tapped the ball into Newaygo’s net for our second point. Emme Losee also shot a ball through the center of Newaygo’s defense and Tellkamp with her speed, caught up to it and was able to score the third point of the game. Newaygo had one good run but our defense was well prepared to not just stop opponents play but gain control to start our attacking play. Newaygo was able to score off of a corner kick.

Soccer Grant 1 Big Rapids 2 Coach Gomez de Leon: The anticipation of playing a tough team like Big Rapids was killing us as the game was originally scheduled to be played on 04/15/19, but due to weather it was rescheduled for Tuesday, 04/16/19 and then again rescheduled a second time for 04/19/19. Going into this game we all knew Big Rapids as a dangerous team, but my father taught me that if we want to be the best we have to play the best and want it more. How much we wanted it showed as our lady Tigers started the game playing smart defense; in fact pressing was the name of the game. In an intense fight for ball control Lady Tigers took advantage of a clear run creating a beautiful play in which Nikki Tellkamp was able to crash the ball into our opponents net. The first half ended 1-0 with our Tigers leading. Second half started and in one of the many chancy corner kicks from Big Rapids they ended up scoring; leaving the game at 1-1 with time still on the clock. The clock was ticking down and with a minute and a half left Tigers kept trying to pressure forward for the win, but a great shot from Big Rapids caught us off-guard and ended the game 1-2 in favor of Big Rapids. Despite the hard loss, I am proud of my girls as they showed up and demonstrated that they are a team to watch out for. A team that will force other schools to bring their A game, because we will not make it easy. Grant 8 Kent City 0 Coach Gomez de Leon: Despite the weather, Lady Tigers were excited to play. We had to be cautious to not be overconfident prior to the start of the game, but as the game started it was noticed that our ladies were not playing at the high intensity I know they can play at. During the first half, the Tigers were able to get 7 goals in and less than 10 minutes into the second half the 8th goal was scored and the game ended 8-0 in favor of our Grant Tigers. Delaney Cronk and Nikki Tellkamp achieved hat tricks (scoring three goals in one game), Emme Losee scored for the second time this season, and Teslynn Ausema scored her first goal in her high school career. Our defense did not see much action today, but Carli Fryling (stopper position) pushed forward and attempted to get near the opponents goal. Lili Scott (keeper), was able to play forward where she had 1 assist and while in goal had 1 clear save. Good job ladies! Way to get those points. Fremont 2 Big Rapids 5 Coach Vissia: The Packers and the Cardinals played a back and forth match until Fremont finally broke down in the final 10 minutes of play. Natalie Jamieson for Fremont netted the first goal of the match in the first minute. Selena Wright answered 10 minutes later for Big Rapids and the scored remained 1-1 at the half. Fremont's Avery Curnett started the scoring 10 minutes into the second half on a pass from Jamieson. The Cardinals scored 15 minutes later to knot the match once again. The game remained tied at 2-2 until the final 10 minutes of the match when Big Rapids scored three goals. Josie Sanders, Leah Alley and Vallery Seay all netted goals for Big Rapids in the final minutes of play. Big Rapids outshot Fremont 11-5.

Softball Whitehall 9-9 Hesperia 1-6 The Panthers were held to a single run in the opener courtesy of an Ellie Palmer RBI while the Vikings jumped out to a quick lead and cruised to the win. Alyssa Miller and Caragan Frees each doubled for Hesperia. Game 2 saw the Whitehall offense put up numbers in every inning while the Panthers fired back with a pair of rallies but still came up short. Makenna Swisher slashed three singles and scored twice while Palmer also delivered a trio of singles and crossed home two times. Miller drove home a pair with 2 hits and a sac fly. Palmer took the loss from the slab in game one and Lynssey Tinkham was saddled with the defeat in the ‘cap. Zoe Bancroft playing in right field had a handful a great defensive plays, including a diving catch to rob a Viking hitter from an extra base hit. With the losses the Panthers fall to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the CSAA Silver. Coach Bolles: “It’s tough only having one win to show for all of our hard work, but in our first three DH’s we’ve played three quality opponents in, Newaygo, Holton and Whitehall and we’ve competed each time our... these tough games are only going to make us better in the long haul. “Also getting better weather and getting outside on a consistent basis will help as well, I love my team and we’re getting better each time out.” Fremont Golf The Packer golf team traveled to Saint Ives at Canadian Lakes to play in the 2019 Lakeview High School Invitational on Thursday April 18th.
