Pack Clips Cards, Tigers Tame Devils, Dawgs Down Panthers

Fremont 52 Orchard View 27
The Packers pounded out their third win in the last four games as they shut down the host Cardinals Thursday night.
Coach Bowen: “ I thought we came out really strong, especially on the defensive end, holding them to 7 points in the first half. I was proud of the kids for how hard they played. I feel like we are still improving and moving in the right direction as a team. Jordon McDonald led us with 15 points and 5 steals. Chaz Miller had a good all around game with 8 points, 4 assists and 4 steals. Gavin Richards got us off to a good start and finished with 9 points. And Will DeBlake had his best game of the year with 12 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The win improves our record to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference. 
Fremont will travel to Whiteall on Tuesday to face the Vikings 

Shelby 39 Holton 28
After opening the season with 5 straight losses the Tigers were on a 3 game winning streak behind some improved defense when they hosted the Red Devils. And when the buzzer sounded Shelby had made it 4 in a row as they jumped to an early lead and held off the Devs for the win. 
Coach Swanson: “They really got off to a nice start on us.  We managed to hang around, just didn't make quite enough plays. I'm pleased that our guys are continuing to work hard and it continues to show.”
Brodrick Fialek and Carter Brant hit for 11 points apiece with Fiallek adding 5 rebounds. Nate Paseka snared a team high 6 boards.
Wayne Dickman (9) Bishop Lee (7) and Mason Garcia (7) paced the Shelby scoring.
Holton (0-3, 0-9) will bring their quest for win #1 into a couple of tough conference games next week as North Muskegon comes to town Tuesday followed by a visit to conference leading, undefeated and state ranked Hart on Friday.

Ravenna 60 Hesperia 38
The Bulldogs took a 19-11 lead after one then stretched the advantage to 30-16 by intermission . The Third quarter saw no let up by the hosts who went on a 19-3 run to secure the conference win.
Coach Worcester: “Our guys came out and did a great job competing in the 1st half. We knew we had to limit the opportunities for Schullo and force their second and third scorers to carry the load. We felt like our game plan on attacking their 3-2 zone was solid. I thought we did a great job getting to open spaces and taking high percentage in the 1st quarter. However, we went flat in the 2 and 3rd quarter offensively. We did a poor job on the boards and allowed too many second opportunities. Something we have struggled with all season. We have to improve our rebounding considerably if we want to win more conference games going forward.
Maddox Mosley dropped in 11 to lead the Panthers and Matteo Materdomini also reached double figures knocking down 10 points.
Carter Schullo finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds for the Dawgs.
Hesperia (1-3, 2-7) runs into a buzzsaw of a schedule next week when they are on the road against the 2 top teams in the conference, Hart (Tue) and Mason County Central (Fri).
