Onekama vs. Mesick
Lady Portagers
finished their season hosting the Mesick Bulldogs. This was the first
meeting of these two teams for the season. A win would boost the
Portagers to a 10-8 record and make for a positive finish to the season.
This game would
prove to be one of the most exciting match-ups of the season. The first
two quarters of play ended with each team leading after a quarter by
only 1 point. The Portagers rallied in the third to finish with a 31-24
lead. Fouls would be a major factor in the game, which caused serious
issues for the Portagers in the final minutes of the game. The
Portagers started the game with a full bench of 8 players, but with just
over a minute the fourth player fouled out leaving only 4 players on the
floor. At around the 40 second mark a fifth Portager player fouled out
leaving only 3 players on the floor. Several trips to the free throw
line and good shooting from the same helped the Bulldogs pull ahead and
take the win with a score of 46-40. |
Heartbreaking is the
only way to describe this game. The heart showed by the Portagers was
at its peak throughout this game and could be seen with each passing
second.
Lindsay and Emily
led the offensive charge with a combined 26 points. Nicki and Jaylee
each finished with 4 points and Danielle finished with 3. Ashley ended
the game with 2 points and Brooke finished with 1.
Danielle had quite a
defensive game with 6 rebounds and 5 steals. Lindsay also had a great
defensive performance grabbing 5 boards and getting 2 steals. Nicki
finished with 3 rebounds and 4 steals, while Lexi, Emily and Ashley each
had 2 rebounds. Brooke grabbed 1 board in this performance.
The JV Lady
Portagers finished with a 9-9 record. As a first year coach with this
program, I was pleased with all that we accomplished. The girls gave it
their all no matter what circumstances they were faced with. They were
extremely fun to work with and I look forward to next season as
returning players and myself look to improve on our success. See you
next season! ~Coach Torrey |
