Whitehall 68  Fremont 66

We lost our first game of the season at Whitehall 68-66.  We struggled with our press allowing them to dribble through traps and not rotating which led to dribble penetration for whitehall and passes down low to their 6'7 and 6'8 centers.  Our #1 goal coming into the game was to not allow them into the paint off the dribble and we did not do that very well.  We were able to lead 15-12 after one quarter and 34-31 at the end of the first half despite have bad foul trouble.  Carter Moon and Braiden McDonald both scored 12 in the first half.  Whitehall tied up the game at the end of 3 quarters 46-46.  The fourth saw us get behind by 6 and we lost Braiden McDonald with 3 mintues to go when he fouled out.  We were able to get a few steals, make a few shots and get the ball back with 10 seconds to go down 1 but we were unable to get a shot off.  Chris Kennedy had a great second half scoring 14 of his 17 in the second half including 11 in the fourth quarter.  For the game both Chris Kennedy and Carter Moon had 17 points, Braiden McDonald had 15 points and Joshua Zerfas had 11 points.  We are 10-1, 7-0 on the season and play Reed City at home on Friday.
