Morley Stanwood 69  Fremont 66

We lost a heart breaker to state ranked Morley Stanwood 69-66.  Morley was our last loss on December 30th at the Reed City Holiday Championship game.  It was back and forth in the first quarter and Morley led 13-12.  We had a great second quarter with 7 different packers scoring and outscored Morley 24-10 to take a 36-23 halftime lead.   Morley outscored us 24-13 in the 3rd quarter and cut our lead down to 2 points heading into the 4th.  The 4th quarter was back and forth the whole time between two really good teams, but Morley made a few more plays, hit 3 timely triples, and ended up winning a thriller 69-66.  This was a great high school basketball game between two very good teams, we just ended up on the losing end of this one. Give Morley credit for that.  They are 12-1 and State ranked with their only loss to the #5 team for a reason.  Our girls played hard, made lots of plays and shots, and we will learn from it and regroup for Thursday when we play Oakridge.  Jessica Bennett led us with 17 points, Mia Clemence had 14, Khaila Noordyk had 13 points, Riley Chase had 7 points, Taylor DeKuiper had 6 points and Olivia Hansen had 5.  We are 10-3, 6-0 and resume league play at Oakridge on Thursday.
