By Ken DeLaat Photos by Mike Gesler It was a rugged first year in the WMC for our local teams. Fremont finished in a three-way tie for third with a respectable 6-6 mark in conference play but the Packers are a bit more accustomed to battling for the crown most years. Have to say, adding a District Title to the trophy case is not a bad consolation though. Hesperia and Holton struggled in the Rivers Division where they ran into a cluster of teams who were each having really good years. They finished tied for last with each getting one win…against each other. Lakes co-champ Whitehall should have some good years ahead with 3 of their 4 all conference players having two more years on the court and Montague’s 3 selections are juniors. In the Rivers Hart has 3 of their AC players finishing their high school careers while Mason County Central, North Muskegon and Shelby each graduate 2 from the AC teams. Locally Jordon McDonald added another league to his all conference collection and Packer point guard Chaz Miller received honorable mention. The two (and their teammates)have been outstanding in the postseason for the Pack Coach Bowen: “Both well deserved for sure. Jordon has been one of the best players in the area for the last two years. He averaged over 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks this season. Chaz had a very good year as well, averaging 10 points, 5.5 assists and 2 steals per game. He is also one of the best defenders in the conference. They are both very good players and also very good students. They are great representatives of our program and our school. Little wonder why Red Devil Carter Brant notched a spot on the Rivers AC First Team. He was clearly the best player on a last place team and Coach Swanson will be welcoming him back next year. Coach Swanson: “Carter is a very advanced basketball player that had another strong season despite some pretty tough circumstances. He led us in points, assists, and rebounds and was a leader for us on and off the court.” Youth will be served in Hesperia with Honorable Mention Jared Turner just a sophomore.
