Last Varsity Boys Game of the Season

It was a Wednesday night on March 6th the varsity boys had a district facing Muskegon Catholic. This game determined who would qualify for the district finals and who would go home and have a completed season. The eagles were doing great and had only lost one home game so districts being home were a “plus” for our eagle boys.

Before the game started, Providence Christian played Waypoint Academy. It gave the eagle boys time to have a plan and think about the rivals who had beaten them the first time. Coach Warren had the boys meet in the locker room twice before the game to go over plays and have a discussion about how the game needs to be played.

The boy had game out of the locker room after Providence Christian's big win against Waypoint looked ready to go. They were ready to play the game how they wanted to this time. It was time for jump ball. Mike Warren was jumping against their strongest guys. Mike Warren won the tip off and Drew Maine got the ball and dribbled down the court. The pass was made to Mark Carlson and then the shot went up from Mark and barely missed.

The boys had played hard the first quarter and only were only down by one. Coach Warren clapped the team in after a great quarter. He had told the boys to keep on doing what they’re doing and they could come ahead and end with a great win.

It was half time and the Eagles were down by 13, coach had told them they had plenty of time to come back. They just need to play better transition defense. By the end of the third quarter they were down by 9 and were playing great. It was 4th quarter and it was time for eagles to show they still had it in them.

Sadly, Muskegon Catholic had kept there scoring up and the eagles had a disappointing loss but played a great hard game. Coach had told the team he loved coaching these guys and they were family to him and he couldn’t be any prouder. They had done their one last team huddle and said team. It was sad to see the varsity boys season end, but exciting to see how well we played as a team.
