Portagers Defeat Lakeshore Academy at Home

November 7, 2005

With a full bench in good company with the Junior Varsity team, the Portagers defeated Lakeshore Public Academy 46-41, bringing their record to 6-11.  The game was of rather slow tempo with the Portagers struggling on both ends of the floor.  Heading into halftime, junior varisty Carmen Howard hit a 15 footer to tie us up at 24.  The second half the Portagers came out with a 22-17 advantage led by Bonnie Harthun with 13 points, and Marlee Herkelrath, Kelsey Acker, Alyssa Cole all contributing 6 points.  Stephanie Ashworth had 5 points.  Ronnie Maidens and Ginny Ashworth each finished 4 points.  Rebounds were evenly distributed with Stephanie Ashworth pulling down 10. Alyssa Cole picked off 6 steals while Ronnie Maidens and Kelsey Acker worked together to each have 4 steals.  Junior Varsity players rose to the varsity challenge each doing a nice contributing in the 1st and second halves.  We look forward to their presence in Districts. ...Coach Turk reporting
