Good win by the girls tonight,” said Newaygo head coach Nathan Thomasma. I thought we ran the floor well and we were able to finish better at the rim in the second half. I thought Emmerson had a great game tonight defensively and offensively. We got another tough game Friday against Grant that we will heave to be ready for.”
