The boys needed to beat Central Montcalm and Grant to win a share of the conference championship with Big Rapids. Despite being short handed the boys stepped up to beat both teams. This is the first conference championship the boys have won in Track and Field in many years. I am really proud of how the boys competed this year.

Grant’s defense was caught off-guard and keeper Lilian Scott, was unable to react due to a crowded box. The Lady Tigers had multiple attempts at recovering ball at midfield but Reed City had speed on their side which made possession and recovery difficult for our Tigers. The first half slipped away and ended with Reed City leading 1 to 0. In the second half started theTigers were starting to get frustrated. A foul in our box led to a penalty kick in favor of Reed City. Penalty kicks are nerve wracking to most but Tiger’s goalkeeper, Lilian Scott, loves the challenge. Reed City took the penalty kick as we held our breath on the bench and let out a scream of joy and relief when Scott, with great reaction, denied them the goal. The ball bounced off Lili’s hands and was alive in our box but the Tiger defense was able to clear it. With 26 minutes left, a ball was sent to the right side of the field where midfielder, Delaney Cronk, settled the ball and started a run up the field. At the top right side of the 18 box Delaney took a quick look up and decided to take a shot that landed the ball gracefully into Reed City’s goal. This tied up the game and it remained tied to the end. Baseball Hesperia 6-8 Kent City 4-6. In game one the Panthers scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning in a CSAA Silver match up. Hesperia racked up nine hits. Logan Balkema, Chris Stapel, and Hunter Billman each collected multiple hits and they tore up the base paths, as two players stole at least two bases. Stapel led the way with two. In game two the Panthers scored three runs in the top of the seventh behind the bats of Billman, Jacob Klemundt and Logan Pierson to sweep their first double header of the season. Billman earned the win in relief. The Panthers improved to 4-10 with the wins. Softball Kent City 5-9 Hesperia 4-8 Caragan Frees doubled twice and drove home 3 runs and Alyssa Miller tripled in a run but it wasn’t enough in the opener as the Eagles scored 3 times in the 7th to capture the win. In game 2 the Panthers again held the lead but KC scored in each of the last 3 innings to gain the sweep.Frees and Miller each collected 2 hits. Coach Bolles: “We had an 8-3 lead after four innings and couldn’t close it out. My kids played hard and never quit but give credit to the Eagles, they kept battling and they pulled out another one run victory in the bottom of the seventh inning. These are tough to lose and we did it twice today and it hurts. Hopefully we will get more mentally tough and if we get out in the same situation again, we’ll have learned from it and we’ll have a better outcome. With the two losses we fall to 7-10 overall and 6-7 in the CSAA Silver... We play next on Saturday May 11th in our own Ken Smith Memorial Tournament... Golf

On Monday the Packers competed in its third Central State Activities Association (CSAA) event of the season at the Katke Golf Course in Big Rapids finishing second to State powerhouse and host Big Rapids High School. The venue is one of the tougher rated courses high school golfers will play. The ten teams competing in the division in addition to Big Rapids and Fremont are Reed City, Kent City, Tri County, Grant, Chippewa Hills, Hesperia, Lakeview, and Central Montcalm. Fremont is currently in third place trailing leader Big Rapids and second place Kent City. The next Conference match for Fremont is Tuesday, May 14th at Moss Ridge hosted by Kent City High School. The next event for the Fremont Varsity boys is Friday May 10th when they travel to play in the Montague High School Golf Invitational at the Old Channel Trail Golf Course Softball Fremont 10-0 Tri County 7-2 The Packers crossed the plate four times in the first inning to jump out to the lead then hung on for the win. Brianna Regeczi ripped a trio of hits and Lily Williams collected two and scored3 times. Maggie Degen and Rhi Pafford each finished with a pair of hits as well. Haley Zerlaut picked up the mwin from the slab. The nightcap was a different game from the slugfest opener. A pitchers duel saw the teams go scoreless until the 6th when the Vikings put a pair on the board. The Pack did not answer and the teams ended with a split. Pafford continued to get her bat on the ball lacing a pair of doubles and Morgan Carson singled and doubled but the Vikes were able to quell each scoring threat to preserve the shutout win. Zerlaut pitched again and this time was saddled with the loss. Holton 7-12 White Cloud 0-1 On Tuesday, the Varsity Girls got a 1st hand look as to why Holton is leading the conference as they dropped both ends of their doubleheader. In Game 1 the girls were held to 5 hits and fell by a score of 7 – 0. The 2nd game was not any better as they collected just 2 hits, one of which was a solo HR from Hannah Brown for a 12 – 1 6 inning score. |
