NEWAYGO HIGH SCHOOL: 43
We ended up winning the game tonight 46-43 to extend our home winning streak to 15 and stay atop the league at 4-0, 7-0 overall, but we were flat out lucky to win. Newaygo came in and completely outplayed us for 30 of the 32 minutes. Newaygo owned the paint tonight, got most of the 50/50 balls and had twice as many offensive rebounds as us even though we had a size advantage. I thought Coach Barrette was the far better coach tonight with a better game plan to start the game breaking our full court traps and attacking our half court defense. Newaygo also played as a team while we played a very uncharacteristic selfish game. From the first minutes we were behind and trailed most of the game except for briefly in the third quarter. Early in the 4th we were behind by as many as 10 before we were able to make a run. We took a lead with under 2 minutes to go and were able to hold on despite missing 4 of 6 free throws after fouled. We only shot 8 of 22 from the line for the night. Braiden McDonald led us with 16 points and Carter Moon had 14 points. We play another close rival during our rival week on Friday when we host Grant.
