REED CITY–The Newaygo girls basketball teams have dominated the Reed City Coyote teams in the past number of years.
That wasn’t the case on Tuesday evening as the Lions fell to Reed City, 46-29, in a Central State Activities Association contest.
The Coyotes used a strong first-half performance, along with balanced scoring, to force Newaygo into a deficit they couldn’t recover from.
Reed City jumped out to a 13-4 lead by the end of the first quarter and extended that lead to 24-8 by the halftime with a 11-4 scoring edge in the second quarter.
The Newaygo offense came to life in the third period and outscored Reed City 13-8. The Coyotes held the upper hand during the final eight minutes, 11-8.
Molley Bowman led Reed City with a game-high 19 points, including four shots from beyond the arc. Kyleigh Weck tossed in 11 points while Carly Carlson chipped in nine points.
