Onekama's 5th Grade Portagers vs. Trinity Lutheran Manistee

The fifth graders had their first ever basketball game today, Tuesday, February 26, 2013.  What a game!  The boys battled back from being down over 10 points at halftime.  Determination and a great team effort pulled the Portagers within three points.  The final score was 24-27, in favor of Trinity Lutheran.  Even though the boys were playing against some older players, they never gave up.  I couldn't be more proud of them.  Way to go Portagers! ~Coach Bennett

Last night the Onekama Portagers elementary basketball team had there first game. It was a good one. There was a really tall boy on the Trinity team. He made like all there baskets. Personally I think it was too bad, but the score turned out to be 24-27. We lost but I think we had a lot of pride and determination. ~Dalron G.
