NEWAYGO–The Newaygo Lions girls basketball team dropped a 63-33 Central State Activities Association contest to the Morley-Stanwood Mohawks on Friday.
The Mohawks held a 16-15 lead after the first eight minutes of play and extended their lead to 30-23 by the half.
Morley-Stanwood broke the game open with a 17-7 scoring advantage in the third period and coasted to the victory.
“Good effort from the girls tonight,” Newaygo coach Nathan Thomasma said. “I thought we played a pretty good first half against a good Morley Stanwood team. In the second half, we just gave up too many rebounds and Morley took advantage of that.”
