Girls basketball tipped off the post-season last night with the first round of districts. Three Wyoming-Kentwood area teams advanced to the semi-final round while one had their season come to an end. District semi-finals will be played on Wednesday.
Class A
East Kentwood – 58
Thornapple Kellogg – 39
East Kentwood extended their winning streak to four games and 11 of their last 15. The Falcons look to get revenge against East Grand Rapids in the District Semi-Finals on Wednesday. When they met in the regular season, the Pioneers took home a close four-point, 49-45 win.
Class B
South Christian – 60
Godwin Heights – 38
South Christian kept a stellar season rolling right along with a big win over Godwin Heights in the opening round of districts. The Sailors’ experience, depth, and height was too much for the young senior-less Wolverine squad to handle.
Jennifer Deboer led all scorers with 17 points and also chipped in seven rebounds, seven assists, and five steals. Isabella Scott helped South Christian with her first ever double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Ravinear Koppenhofer led the Wolverines in scoring with 11 of her own.
South Christian looks to keep the ship sailing against Kelloggsville in the district semifinals on Wednesday night at Godwin Heights.
Class D
Tri-Unity Christian – 50
Byron Center Zion Christian – 40
Tri-Unity Christian kept the season moving forward on Monday night. Led by Sarah Buffum and her 20 points, the Crusaders extended their winning streak to nine with a ten-point victory over Byron Center Zion Christian.
Tri-Unity Christian will take on Holland Calvary, a team they’ve already beat twice this season by a combined 62 points, in the district semi-final on Wednesday night.
