The Reeths-Puffer boys basketball team missed their first 15 shots and never recovered in a 58-35 loss to West Ottawa in non-league action Friday.
“We didn’t make shots, we didn’t rebound, and we didn’t protect the lane,” said R-P coach David Ingles, whose team fell to 0-2 on the young season. “The three most important things for us to be successful and we were 0-for-3.”
