Holton 38 White Cloud 30 The Red Devils picked up their third win in a row during their visit to White Cloud but it wasn’t pretty and it didn’t come easy. The hosts have struggled with scoring all season and Tuesday was no exception. The Indians have not reached 40 points since early December and in 7 of their 8 wins this season the opposing team was held to under 30 points. Their defense came through in this one but once again the scoring fell short. When halftime hit the Cloud had held their visitors to just 15 points, but the number on the Indian side of the scoreboard read just 8. “We shot the ball terribly and didn't rebound at all, so we are lucky to get out of there with a win,” said Holton Coach BJ Jordan.”This was an ugly one for us, and we really couldn't get anything going on offense outside of Ryann Robins’ 18 points. Credit to White Cloud, I dont have the stats back but I bet they came close to doubling our rebounding tonight. It kept them in the game for sure. They just wouldn't go away and made it a game in the 4th. We hit a couple big 3's and knocked down some free throws to get out of there with a win. Layla Cannady saved all her scoring for the 4th quarter and scored all 7 of her points in that period.” Coach Wilk: “Tonight we didn't execute well enough to win this ball game. We started off very slow by only scoring 8 points in the first half, and they scored 15. In the 2nd half we made a nice little run to cut the lead down to 1. Holton hit a couple of big shots in the 4th to stretch their lead, and we couldn't hit our shots when we needed to.” Kiara Edwards led the Indians with 8 points, while Jaden Gomez hit for 6. Abbie Fowler dished out 7 assists for the Devs adding 5 steals and helping her team handle the WC press. It was the final regular season home game for White Cloud (4-4, 8-8) who will go on the road Friday to face longtime rival Morley Stanwood. Holton (4-5, 9-8) will host Shelby in a MWC-Rivers matchup also on Friday. Fremont 31 Montague 22 In a defensive battle at Fremont on Tuesday night, the Packers came out on top over the visiting Wildcats. Montague came into the game holding onto second place in the WMC Lakes Division and fresh off a huge win over conference leading Ludington while Fremont owned only 2 wins in their inaugural season in the WMC. Coach Zerlaut -- "Montague obviously struggled shooting the ball tonight, but I'm really happy with how hard our girls continue to play to give us a chance to compete even when we struggle on offense. Riley gave us a great spark off the bench tonight, playing with good energy, solid defense, and scoring 7 of her 9 points in the fourth quarter." Riley Chase tallied 9 points to pace the Pack with Jessica Bennett scoring 6 and Mia Clemence adding 5. Emma Peterson led the visitors with a game high 10 points. Fremont (3-6, 6-13) will continue conference play Friday when they will host Orchard View. Grant 59 Tri County 18 Coach Delamater: “It was a strong defensive performance for us. We've been stressing better defensive rotation and the girls did a nice job with that in the half-court tonight. Julie Ashbaugh had 23, Jayci Hance had 8, Reese Gragg and Madison Thompson had 7.” Monday Newaygo 38 Ravenna 35 The Lions were on the road and played from behind throughout the night. Finally deep into the 4th quarter they battled back to tie the score. Then with less than two ticks remaining on the clock Grace Painter the senior leader of the Lions launched one from beyond the arc and when the ball hit the bottom of the net the Lions had snapped a 4 game skid with a tough, hard-fought road win. Coach Thomasma: "Girls played with great effort tonight. The big difference was that we hit some shots in the second half and we didn't turn over the ball as much and I thought we scrapped a lot better for 50/50 balls too. Proud of the team. They just kept battling and competing and we were able to come out on the good side of one of these games." Painter led the Lions in scoring, dropping a dozen on the Dawgs, adding 5 boards and a pair of steals. Naomi Schillman knocked down 11 points to go with 3 rebounds and Barbara Toth also reached double figures in scoring with 10 while hauling down 6 off the glass. Newaygo (2-6, 5-13) will welcome in Tri County on Friday
