Portager's Defeat Bobcats in Close Game

     Three games in a week is a lot for any team, but the Portagers didn’t allow that to hold them back in their come from behind charge Saturday afternoon against the Brethren Bobcats.  Despite playing lethargic for the first two quarters, the Portagers went into halftime only down by 5.  Determined to keep battling, the Portagers chipped away in the third and made a huge 23-14 run in the 4th to make the game one to watch.   Led by seniors Kelsey Acker and Alyssa Cole, the ball was stolen to regain possession and a free was made to help seal the lead by one, but not necessarily the win. 

      Two free throws were missed by the Bobcats with 3 seconds left in the game allowing the Portagers to claim win #3.  This win continued the great start in 2008 and finished off a fun week for the Portagers —snowcoming, future stars, 1997 alumni recognition, and two wins against quality teams.  Thanks to those who showed their school spirit and enjoyed the week with us. 
      The Portagers are next in action Tuesday, January 15 at Manistee Catholic Central.  Tip off is at 6:00.  Hope to see you there.
