Nine players scored with Zaiden Phillips leading the way with 17 points. Ethan DeLong added 15 while Oakley Obenauf and Sincere Hatch chipped in 13 and 12, respectively. It was the third straight win for Grant (2-0, 3-1) who will host Shelby (1-3) on Tuesday Grant 51 Lakeview 34 . The Tigers started strong, building a 12 point lead after one and keeping the Cats at bay to secure the win. Coach Delamater: “It was a very physical game and we responded well. We talk a lot about how teams are going to slow us down, and the physical play will be something we see every night. Lakeview did an excellent job limiting their turnovers and beating the press and we had to adjust on the fly. Our half court offense was great for as early as it is in the season.” Julie Ashbaugh paced the Tiger attack, knocking down 22 points and working the boards. Jocee Pleune fired in 10 points and Bella Welch hit for 9. White Cloud 31 Tri County 27 Coach Wilk: “ It was a close match from the start. After the first quarter, we were winning by just one point, 9-8. By halftime, we led 21-13. Both teams made adjustments at halftime and we traded a few points in the third. At the end of the third quarter we were leading 27-18, and it was just enough cushion for when Tri-County made three 3s in the fourth quarter. We were able to make our free throws at the end to come out on top. Jaden Gomez and Tanayah Klammer scored 8 points each, and Kadence Nickoloff added 6 points. Gracy Holmes added 5, and Brooke Ringler dropped in 4 points herself. Gomez also led us with five steals. Things got intense in the last quarter when Jaden Gomez accidentally got hit in the face. There was a break to clean up the blood on the court, and Jaden was able to return a few minutes later after she cleaned up her bleeding lip. This win wasn't just about scoring points, it was also about how our team was able to successfully handle adversity. Sometimes, a tough battle is what a team needs. I’m just glad we came out on the right side of it tonight. White Cloud (1-0, 2-0) will host Shelby (2-0) on Monday. White Cloud 66 Tri County 50 The Cloud opened conference play with a win over the Vikings.
