Newaygo 70 Tri County 30 The Lions crushed the Vikings and clinched a tie for the title with their 12th straight win. But they’re not thinking about a tie. The Lions are on fire and looking to keep their current torrent pace going into the postseason. The title? A given. With 3 games left against teams that failed to come within 20 points of the Lions in their first meetings there would have to be a cosmic shift of epic proportions to deny them the trophy. Coach Thomasma: “"Girls played really well. Great team victory." Once again the Lion triumvirate stuffed the stat sheet as Jaxi Long poured in 25 points to go with 5 rebounds and 5 assists Emmerson Goodin dropped 15 points, grabbed 6 steals and pulled another 6 off the glass and Kayla Fisk fired in 14 points and added a team high 8 rebounds. The Lions (11-0, 16-1) can sew up their second straight Gold crown with a win over Grant (8-3, 9-7) Friday. White Cloud 34 North Muskegon 21 White Cloud sent the fans home happy at their final home game of the season as they defeated the visiting Norsemen in a non-conference tilt Tuesday night. Coach Wilk: ”Tonight we took care of business. Defensively I could not have asked for a better start. After the 1st quarter we were up 8 to 0. In the second quarter we lost some intensity, and we left them open too often. They knocked down some shots, and we went into half with a 16 to 13 lead. In the 2nd half we got back into playing good defense and held them to only 8 more points the rest of the game. We also added 18 more points to our score before the time ran out. Our seniors were able to win their last home game. Leading the charge tonight was Gaby Reeve with 12 points. Abby Derks chipped in 8, Jaden Gomez added 7, and Carsyn Scarlavai added 5.” White Cloud (3-5, 8-10) will travel to Lakeview Friday to face the Wildcats. Ravenna 30 Holton 16 The Red Devils came into this one riding a 6 game winning streak. That ride came to a screeching halt on Tuesday when the offense that had been averaging nearly 50 points a game during the streak sputtered to finish with less than 20. Coach Jordan: “As you can tell by the score we struggled a ton on offense tonight, credit to Ravenna they came out and clearly wanted it more than us tonight, they out worked us tonight on both sides of the ball. Absolutely killed us on the Offensive glass with 26 O boards and we turned the ball over almost 30 times. This led to them getting 67 shot attempts to our 35 and that really was the game. Neither team shot the ball well to be honest. “Foul trouble hurt as well in the first quarter, having 3 starters with 2 fouls early in the quarter, this led to us having to take off our press and that has been our best tool these last few games. “Nothing went right for us tonight but that has a lot to do with the lack of energy we showed up with. “For the 6th time in 7 games we had a poor first half. This time however we were unable to dig ourselves out of it like we have in the past, I knew this is something we can't continue to do and it came back to bite us tonight. “Can't dwell on it for too long. We have a 17-0 Kent city team on Friday who beat us convincingly the first time we played. I'm hoping my girls respond and we show up to compete and put forth a better showing second time around.”
