Fremont 82  Manistee 54

We were able to secure at least a share of the conference championship with an 82-54 win over Manistee tonight.  In the last month we have averaged 62 points per game, but didn't shoot well on Wednesday vs. Mason County Central  and only hit for 50.  Tonight we played with great energy and had everyone contribute and play big minutes during the game.  We led 21-14 after the first quarter but had a great second quarter scoring 27 points and taking a 48-23 lead into halftime.  The second half we continued to shoot well and ended up winning 82-54.  We had incredibly good balance with players scoring 19, 15, 13, 12, 8, 7, 4, 3 and 1.  Jessica Bennett had a great game with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 blocks.  Riley Chase had 15 points and 6 steals.  Taylor DeKuiper had 13 points, 8 steals and 8 rebounds.  Mia Clemence had 12 points, four triples and 8 assists.  Eliana Vandenberg had 8 points, Khaila Noordyk had 7, Elise Pfeiffer had 3.  Olivia Hansen had 14 rebounds to go with 3 points.  Katie Ackerman had 5 steals and 5 assists.  Freshmen Taylor DeKuiper set the all time single season steals record tonight.  She had 8 steals tonight bringing her season total to 111 breaking Bre (Harris) Vanvleet's record of 109. Junior Riley Chase is close behind with 101.
