Girls White Cloud 35 North Muskegon 17 White Cloud shook off their 3 game losing streak and captured a road win with a strong performance over the Norse. Coach Wilk:” Our last game seemed very out of character for us, and I was glad to see our girls came out tonight with more aggression and a sense of urgency. We started off the 1st quarter with a 10 to 2 lead, and then we went into halftime up 23-8. “I was very pleased that all of our players stepped up and did their job to help get a team win tonight. Everyone got out onto the floor which is always a good thing. Gaby Reeve led us tonight offensively with 16 points, and Jaden Gomez finished with 10 points. Gaby Reeve and Brooke Ringler led us in rebounds tonight, and Gomez and Kiara Edwards had quite a few steals to lead us defensively. Some of our other players showed a lot of growth tonight, and we need them to continue to improve over the next couple of games. Our record improves to 5-3, and we host Grant on Friday.” Newaygo 47 Big Rapids Crossroads 19 The Lions snapped a 5 game skid with a decisive win over the Cougars.
