Coming out in the third quarter, the Portagers outscored the Panthers 15-4 allowing for a nice twenty point lead going into the fourth. Execution and patience were the game plan throughout the fourth quarter and the Portagers prevailed in both putting their overall record to 5-9. |
Before
and after every practice and game we talk about
teamwork. "Teamwork" exceeded the Panther
pressure and efforts. Three players finished
with double figures. Bonnie Harthun and
Marlee Herkelrath each had 14 points while Ronnie
Maidens had 12 points. Four players had 10 or
more rebounds. Marlee Herkelrath led the
way ripping down 13 boards. Bonnie Harthun and
Alyssa Cole each pulled down 12 while Stephanie
Ashworth had 11 boards. There were 22 assists
and ONLY 9 turnovers. Having only 9
turnovers put the Portagers well below their
turnover goal of 12. Thursday's game at Pentwater determines the fate of 4th place either being all Onekama's or split between the Falcons. The Portagers head to Pentwater defending their pride against a very hungry Pentwater team seeking revenge. Make the travel and cheer your Portagers on as they head into battle. |
