FREMONT — Grant’s boys basketball team stuck its head above .500 for the season again wtih a 60-50 victory over Fremont on the road Tuesday night in the Central State Activities Association-Gold.

“We struggled to make shots again, and just couldn’t get into any rhythm on offense,” said Packers head coach Adam Bowen. “We came out flat in the first quarter on both ends and fell behind by 10.

“It was an uphill battle the rest of the way. We couldn’t put any type of run together to get back into the game.”

Logan Nelson had a good all-around game for the Packers with 20 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals.

Fremont snapped a four-game winning streak and saw its record drop to 11-6 overall and 9-2 in the conference. The Packers are next scheduled to see action Friday night when they host Howard City-Tri County.

Grant improved to 8-7 overall and 6-5 in the conference. The Tigers are next scheduled to see action Friday hosting Newaygo.
