| Now,
3-9 overall and 3-6 in the league, the Portagers will use
the last two weeks as building blocks heading into round
two of teams looking to seek revenge.
The Onekama team put out a resilient effort
challenging Brethren for every rebound, loose ball,
and jump ball situation. In the end, small numbers
and a tight rim couldn't overcome the Brethren
depth. Ginny
Ashworth led scorers with 16 points. Many of those
points came from free throws she created near the
basket. Marlee Herkelrath did a nice job
on both ends of the court. She pulled
down 14 boards, drew a charge, and finished with 8
points. Alyssa Cole had four steals and a big 3
right before the half taking us into halftime just
down by seven. Kelsey Acker and Bonnie
Harthun were solid getting the ball down the floor
against a very aggressive and
scrappy defense.

Kelsey
Acker finished with 6 points and 4 assists.
Ronnie Maidens who placed 2nd team All Conference
at Wednesday's x-country meet displayed great mental
and physical toughness playing through injury and
tired legs. She finished with 5 points and 3
rebounds. Stephanie Ashworth did a nice helped to
defend the middle pulling down some key rebounds. The Portagers look forward to a only
having one game next week. The break will be a
great time to rest bodies and work on some weak
areas. On Tuesday, the Portages play host
to the Bear Lake Lakers.
Thanks to the nice Onekama
crowd who displayed great sportsmanship and class
against a very verbally aggressive Brethren crowd.
We look forward to your support on Tuesday against Bear
Lake.
