The Maroons tipped off their season on
Tuesday Night, as they welcomed the Grand Haven Buccaneers to the
Civic Center. Both teams got off to a decent start, but Grand Haven
jumped out to a 14-7 lead after the first quarter. In the second
quarter, Kyle Steigenga blocked a Grand Haven shot, and took the ball
down the court and finished with a dunk, sparking the Maroons' first
half energy. The Maroons continued to stick with the buccaneers,
making the score to 25-19 in favor of the Buccaneers at the end of
the first half.
Holland Christian's deficit became 10
points with three minutes remaining in the game. The Maroons were
able to fight back to tie the game 49-49 with under a minute left to
play. With 6 seconds left on the clock, Kyle Steigenga was at the
free throw line. He took two shots, and made them both. The Maroons
went on to win 51-49. Holland Christian shot 17/20 free throws
collectively. Kyle Steigenga led the team with 19 points, followed by
Sam VanderSluis with 11, and Jared Dykstra with 8. The Maroons will
be back in action on Friday, December 13, as they travel to Zeeland East to
face the Chix.
