Coach Swanson: “Pleased with how we played tonight.  After their gutsy performance down the stretch last night, to come out and play well tonight, it was a good step in our growth.”
Aidan Poling continues to be a force on the Holton team, as he fired in 22 points adding 5 boards 4 steals and 3 assists to the stat book. Wyatt Monette also pulled down 5 rebounds to go with his 9 points, Brodrick Fialek dropped in a dozen and Austin Fowler added 6.

Hart 50 White Cloud 46
The Cloud players were coming off a  tough loss the previous night and facing a Pirate team looking for their first win. After an early lead the Indians fell behind trailing by as much as 14 points early in the fourth quarter. An inspired run closed the gap but WC could not overtake the Pirates and took the loss. 
Coach Jones: “Back to back heartbreaking losses. Every night we get stronger and more confident. Enrique Bowman gave us a big lift tonight with some much needed defense”
Taylor Bode led the way with 14 points, Sam Venema scored 11, and Dexter Cox tallied 9.  
White Cloud was to make it three games in 3 days Thursday when they travel to Lakeview to face the Wildcats.

Muskegon Catholic Central 64 Hesperia 22
The Panthers kept pace early on but MCC led by Jaden Johnson’s 22 points pulled away secured the win.
Coach Worcester: “Our guys started off with the best offense and defense that I have seen all season. Turnovers in the second quarter and the duration of the game plagued our offense and second chance points for Muskegon Catholic hurt our defense. Overall, I believe our team has realized their capabilities and I look forward to more improvements going into our game against Morley on Friday.”
