HOLTON — North Muskegon came out of halftime firing on all cylinders on Tuesday night at Holton.

North Muskegon led 23-11 at the half, but a 29-4 surge in the third quarter turned the game into a rout, and ultimately, a 65-22 victory over the host Red Devils.

Three North Muskegon players reached double figures, led by Sam Gallo with 13 points. Jaxon Lisinski added 12 points and Troy McManus had 10.

“We really didn’t get anything going offensively tonight,” Holton coach Keith Swanson said. “A really rough third quarter defensive broke it wide open. Hoping to learn from it and get better.”

Holton was led by Brodrick Fialek with 10 points and Carter Brant with six rebounds and five assists.

 North Muskegon (8-2, 3-2) will host Ravenna on Friday.

Holton (0-10, 0-4) will travel to Hart on Friday.
