MONA SHORES HIGH SCHOOL: 57
The Dux pulled out another hard fought win on the road Thursday night beating Mona Shores 63-57. Zeeland West got off to a quick ten point lead behind great defense and Travis Vredeveld with seven first quarter points. The Sailors battled back and hit a buzzer beater three to tie the game at 15 going into the second quarter. The second half was back and forth with Mona Shores taking a 3 point lead into the half. Freshmen coach and assistant varsity coach said, "We knew at the half it was going to be a tight game the rest of the way. Told the boys to finish them off just like our freshmen did earlier in the night." Mason Bakker come out strong in the second half and had 11 points in the third quarter and was a load inside. Eli Steffen's runner (22 points) at the buzzer tied the game going into the 4th quarter. The Dux had a quick start to the fourth quarter going up seven and not looking back with the Sailors never getting closer than three points. After the game Coach Klyn commented, "Mason, Carson, and Eli came up big for us in the second half. Eli gave us 10 points and had a calming effect taking care of the ball. Carson gave us numerous second chances on the offensive end with his hustle and rebounding. Mason gave us 16 points in the second half and was a tough matchup." He also said, players 1-13 have bought into their roles on the team and it has made it a lot of fun to coach this group. The guys who haven't been getting many minutes in games have really prepared the guys who are getting more minutes in games during practice." Zeeland West (4-0) has 8 days off before their next game in which they will be at home for a matchup with Comstock Park on Dec. 21.
