BALDWIN — Onekama picked up its second win of the season Thursday night with a 54-45 West Michigan D League win over Baldwin.

“It was a wild game,” Portagers coach Roger Smith said. “It was really physical — a lot of fouls, a lot of bodies flying, but our kids kept our composure and played well. I was really pleased with their effort.”

Joe Kosiboski led the Portagers (2-5, 2-4 WMD) with 18 points, seven rebounds and four steals while Jake Matthews had nine points, four steals and eight assists, Thomas Koon had eight points, five steals and six assists, Bryce Reckow and Skyler Kimpel each scored six, Tanner Kott scored five and Matt Monroe added two.

The Portagers held a 14-9 advantage over the Panthers (1-10, 1-6 WMD) at the end of the opening quarter and went into halftime up 20-15. The Portagers scored 19 points in the third to head into the fourth with a 39-28 lead which they secured down the stretch.

The Onekama junior varsity team rolled to a 58-26 win over Baldwin as the Portagers were led by Quinn Matthews with 16 points.
