Portagers Defeat Buckley Bears in District Play
November 15, 2005

The Portagers couldn't be more pleased with their performance tonight against the Buckley Bears in the semi-final game of Districts.  It was a tough, competitive game with neither team backing down.  The Portagers knew they had to win all four quarters, which is exactly what they did, taking care of business, winning 37-32.
Teamwork was key and evident in tonight's victory.  Players stepped up when the pressure was on, not losing composure. Offense and defense were solid and well balanced amongst all players.  Marlee Herkelrath led scoring with 8 points.  Bonnie Harthun and Ginny Ashworth had 7 apiece. 
Stephanie Ashworth had 6 points while Kelsey Acker had 5 points.  Alyssa Cole and Ronnie Maidens both finished with 2 points.  Rebounds were evenly distributed with Stephanie Ashworth finishing with 8 rebounds, Marlee 7, Bonnie 6, Ginny 5 and Ronnie 4 boards.  Bonnie Harthun picked off 4 steals as Kelsey Acker dished out 3 assists.    
Thanks to all those students, parents, and Onekama staff who came out to show their support.   It was a great win for our program. Your support didn't go unnoticed.
