Boys Varsity at Heights!

 Last Thursday night, our CCS Boys Varsity team were scheduled to play their last regular season game of the year. Their opponent for this game? Muskegon Heights. Everyone was talking about the game at school that day. After school, many fans were anxious to load up the bus and head over to the game. Around 4:30 players and fans loaded up the bus and Mr. Maine started the trip to Muskegon Heights.

As they walked into the Heights gym, the other team was shooting hoops. Everyone could tell this was going to be a good game. The boys headed to the locker room and the fans took their place in the stands. There were about 40 CCS fans that made the trip out to the game! As warm-ups came to an end you could see that the boys were itching to start. The gym was packed full of people. The Eagles and Tigers battled it out in the first quarter but the Heights jumped to an early lead. By halftime the score was 48-27, Eagles down. Our boys were fighting hard and you could tell they were not going to give up.

A few minutes into the third quarter, Mike Warren added some excitement with a dunk! The crowd went wild. Once things settled down again, Mike decided it was time for another dunk and this one was even bigger! Both crowds were loving the back to back dunks. As the clock ran down, the boys were still down. But the game was very entertaining and exciting. The final score was 94-65 with Heights winning. Even though they were defeated, the boys had a good time playing in such a competitive game.

Our Boys have their first game of districts Wednesday, March 6th, here in our gym at 7pm versus Muskegon Catholic. Come out and support your Eagles!
