The JV Girls traveled to Central Montcalm in a battle in the Hornet Nest. And a battle it was! The game was delayed due to extended travel times to navigate the icy roads safely. We came out a flat in the First quarter down 9-1 with 20scs left until Julia Miller drove the lane and found Shelby Zimmer open in the corner to hit a 3pt to close the quarter down 9-4. The second quarter started similar to the 1st and found ourselves down 15-6 with 4mn left. Taya Hull drove the lane and got the bucket and the harm, converting her FT shot for an old school 3pt play. This created a spark as we were able to close the gap to 19-13. Then with 7scs left Julia Miller dribbled the ball up the court and made a 3pt Buzzer beater to go into halftime down 19-16. The 3rd quarter was a back and forth battle with both teams scoring 8pts going into the 4th quarter down 27-24. The 4th quarter was a thriller. Both teams combined to score 33pts in the quarter. Julia Miller made 2 more 3pt bringing our total to 5 3pt on the day. Elli Max made 1 FT, Hayla Goble converted 2 FT to go with Shelby and Taya both driving the lane making contested layups. With the game tied 41-41 with just seconds left on the clock The Hornets applied ball pressure, stealing the ball for a fast break and got fouled shooting two potential game winning FTs which they converted to win 43-41. Again, I cant say enough how proud we are of these girls and how much they are improving each day!

On Saturday, December 14, the team headed to the Kent County Championships to grapple with many of the best wrestlers in the county. The team finished in 8th place out of 20 county schools. Adam Hunter led the way by securing a county championship by going 3-0 on the day. Brooklin Armstrong took home 2nd place, and Derek Rodenburg finished in 3rd. Rounding out the medals for the Eagles were Sammy Anderson in 4th place and Logan Thompson in 6th. Trevor McGuff, Jayden Loomis-Sandison, and Blake Carr all earned wins on the day but came up just short of earning a spot on the podium.
