Onekama vs.
Manistee Catholic Central ~ Game 5
January 5, 2011
A long break between games always makes a coach nervous
about how the team will perform at the next game. We were coming into
the game off of the excitement of our first win so that was a positive
on our side. The time off would prove to be the major factor in the
outcome of this game.
The Portagers started out with a scoring slump while the
Sabers couldn’t miss the basket. The Sabers jumped to a 14-2 lead at
the end of the first quarter and they would never look back as they
continued to drop the ball in the hoop for score after score. The
Portager offense got better but it wouldn’t be enough as the Sabers went
home with a 50-21 victory. |
The offense was led by Kaylan and Kaitlin with 7 points
each. Nisha and Sami each finished with 3 points and Sierra Hull
finished out the scoring with a point. Several good shots were taken,
but the ball wouldn’t go in the hoop for us.
Sami led the defense with 7 rebounds. Kaylan and Sierra
Hull each finished with 4 rebounds and Kaylan added 2 blocks to her
stats. Kaitlin ended the game with 3 rebounds and a steal while
Elizabeth finished with 3 boards, an assist, a steal and a block. Faith
finished with a rebound and Nisha added a steal and 2 blocks. The
defense played good but it wasn’t enough for how well the Sabers shot
the ball.
We will continue to work hard in practice and prepare
ourselves for the next contest. We travel to Mason County Eastern on
January 7, 2011. This should be a tough match-up and we will have to
play at our best to get the second win of the season.
Go Portagers! Coach Torrey |
