Portagers Close Out Season With Winning Record;
Drop Heartbreaker to Bear Lake
 
February 15, 2008
      It was a bitter end to a season of hoop dreams, hard work, success and tears.  Following a clutch basket made by sophomore Katie Prielipp, the 4th quarter buzzer sounded with the scoreboard tied at 34-34 in the conference match-up between Onekama and Bear Lake.  The Portagers were overcome with emotion as they headed into overtime for 4 minutes.  Unfortunately, the Portagers were unable to answer the Lakers with enough points to claim the victory.  The final score at the conclusion of overtime was 35-38 in favor of Bear Lake.
    Scoring for the Portagers were sophomore Sherece Revolt with 20 points, freshman Taylor Hagen with 9 points, sophomore Katie Prielipp with 4 points, and sophomore Diamond Kimpel with 2 points.
