The First Few Boys Basketball Games

This season started out for our guys with a tough game against Grand River Prep. Being our first game and our first time ever playing this team we weren’t sure what to expect. The game progressed with Brendan Hamilton leading us with boards and baskets as well as Will Dukes throwing in a few hoops here and there. Isaac Burns and I also contributed a few. At the end of the game we were down 27 points but it was one of the toughest teams we’ll play all year. Brendan Hamilton finished with 21 points, Will Dukes with 12, Isaac Burns with 9 and 5 for me. 

 Our next game took place on Friday, December 12 against Heritage Christian. The game started out with a few back to back points from the opposing team and we just couldn’t seem to catch up! But after a horrible first half of only having around 15 points we came out strong in the second and gave Heritage a run for their money. The scores bounced around and at the end of the 3 rd quarter we were down by 11 and it seemed hopeless. But with a burst of energy we pulled closer and closer while scoring and not letting the other team score. With 9.8 seconds left we were down by 2 and Will Dukes pulled through on an out-of-bounds play and swished a 3 pointer to put us ahead for the win!


Ravenna came to our gym on Tuesday December 16 looking to play. We came out strong and held the lead for the whole game until the 4th quarter where we melted away for just a couple possessions causing us to lose. Everyone played well against the Bulldog team. Come out and see us all play soon!
