Boys: Pack, Devs, Cloud and Panthers win openers
Girls: TC Downs Holton, Fremont Falls to Shelby Boys Fremont 54 Shelby 47 Coach Bowen: “Shelby deserves a lot of credit for this game. They were very short handed, but really took it to us. They outworked us for most of the game. Bishop Lee for Shelby was the best player on the floor. We could not keep him off the glass. He finished with 24 points and had 11 offensive rebounds. We were lucky to escape with a win. The effort we put forth was not good enough for a Fremont team, but we will turn that around starting in practice tomorrow. Joey DeLong had a good game for us and finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.” Fremont (1-0) hosts Big Rapids Friday in the conference opener for both schools and the season opener for the Cards Sparta 50 Newaygo 48 The Spartans built a 7 point lead by intermission but the Lions roared back and forged a tie going into quarter 4 with some inspired defense. From there on the game went back and forth until the buzzer sounded with Sparta pulling out the 2 point win Newaygo was led by Bryce Decker with 13, Josiah Long added 10 points and Gabrial Schillman tossed in eight. White Cloud 69 Mason County Eastern 56 Coach Jones: “Not a bad start to the season We must clean up our defensive rebounding. This will probably be our Achilles heel all year. Proud of the men and how they played together. If we keep improving we will be a tough team to beat.” Jared Watson led the balanced scoring attack with 17points, Mason Ruether had 16, Tray Brunson 14 and Taylor Bode added 13 points. The Cloud will open league play Friday at Hesperia. Holton 47 Tri County 31 The Red Devils edged ahead after the first quarter and held a 17-11 lead at the half. The Vikes made a run in the third pulling within 4 points but the Devs outscored TC 19-7 in the final period to secure the win Coach Swanson: “(Wyatt) Monette was huge for us and Fowler got hot from outside in the second half. It was a pretty sloppy game for both teams but we're happy to move forward with the win.” Monette finished with 20 points 11 boards and 5 assists to led the RD’s. Austin Fowler dropped a dozen to go with his 4 assists and Carter Brant pulled down 5 rebounds while scoring 7 points. Blake Nelson led Tri County with 9 points. Hesperia 51 Walkerville 47 The Panthers grabbed an early lead then hung on through a number of Wildcat runs to secure the win. Coach Worcester: “Great way to start off the season. I’m proud of how our guys executed our game plan. Maverick McKinnon did a great job offensively keeping us ahead with 25pts for the game. Every guy played his role and we ended up with the win tonight. Our great coaching staff kept our guys focused and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out.” McKinnon fired in 25 points, while Zach Glenn hit for 13 and Maddox Mosely added 8. Girls Tri County 52 Holton 34 The Red Devils saw their hosts jump out early taking the lead to double digits before Holton settled in, getting back to within 2 points. The Vikes went up 7 going into the final frame and sealed the win in the 4th. Coach Jordan: “We just couldn't get anything going offensively tonight, credit to Tri County. The score doesn't reflect how close the game was, we were right within striking distance for all but the last 3 minutes of the game, then they went on a run and busted it open. “I'm still very optimistic about the season. We only had 7 players tonight and 4 of them are underclassmen, so we are getting some great experience and games like this should only help us in the long run.” Ryann Robins had a huge night finishing with 11 points and 15 rebounds for the Devs. Courtney Boes also hit double figures hitting for 10 points and Abby Fowler dished out 6 dimes while nabbing 5 steals Holton (1-1) will host Morley Stanwood in their conference opener. Shelby 53 Fremont 41 Monday White Cloud 43 MCE 14 Coach Wilk: "We started off slow tonight giving Mason County Eastern hope, but it didn’t take too long to find our groove. Mason County Eastern hit the 1st two shots of the game to go up 5-0, and after that the only points they scored were from the free throw line. Tonight I was able to see glimpses of the team I know these girls can be. We knew some girls needed to step up with our defensive leader Carsyn Scarlavai sitting out the first half, and the girls were up for the challenge. "Defensively we were led by sophomore Jaden Gomez who disrupted their main ball handler all night. Jaden led the team with six steals. After halftime our energy picked up to a new level once Carsyn got in the game. Her tenacity led to many fast break opportunities. On the offensive end we were led by Gaby Reeve who dropped in a sweet 16 to go along with 7 rebounds. Fellow post player Abby derks had a solid showing with 8 points. Kiara Edwards had a great night on both ends of the floor registering 12 points and 5 steals. The end result was a White Cloud Victory. "We take on Hesperia later this week."
