Overall though we did create enough shots to be in the game, we just could not get them to go in.” Logan Karnemaat grabbed 11 boards to go with his 13 points and Ben Schmidt scored 8 with 4 assists. “Ben wasn’t at full strength and just gutted it out,” added Coach Zerfas. Carter Moon hit for a half dozen for the Packers (11-3, 8-2) who will host Central Montcalm on Tuesday before heading to Newaygo for the Friday game.
