Red Devil Girls Notch 4th Straight Win

Balanced attack cages Panthers

Holton 47 Hesperia 21
The Panthers hung tight with their hosts Friday finishing the first quarter down just 3 points but the offensive firepower of the Red Devils outgunned the Hesperia team in the 2nd to reach intermission with their grip on a 14 point lead. They continued to build their lead after the break and cruise to the conference win.
Coach Jordan: “This is one my girls really wanted,and I thought their energy was where it needed to be for the most part tonight. There are always areas where we can improve but we are starting to see signs of growth and girls are really filling into  their roles and that's a good thing to see. Tonight, we shot the ball well, hitting 9 threes from 6 different girls. June Newell hit 4 herself. In the off  season we identified shooting as a team weakness, and we have been getting a ton of shots up early in practice so it's nice to see those paying off. We created a lot of turnovers tonight too,so when you can shoot well and create turnovers you have a good chance to win most games.   
This is 4 wins in a row for us and brings us to 5-2 on the season, but we will learn alot about our self as we play some power houses in Kent City, Newaygo and Morley-Stanwood all next week
June Newell paced the Devs with 16 points while Ryann Robins took 10 off the glass to go with her 7 points. Abby Fowler stuffed the stat sheet with 5’s finishing with a quintet of points, assists and steals.
The Panthers were led by Emmet Tinkham who scored 9 points while collecting 9 boards and Emma Joppich who hit for 8 points and provided strong defense with 7 steals.
As Coach Jordan said, a brutal schedule awaits the Devils next week as they face Kent City (10-0) on Monday, Newaygo (9-1) on Tuesday and MS (9-1) on Friday.
Hesperia (0-5, 1-6) will host Muskegon Catholic Central Tuesday then head to White Cloud for a Friday game.
