Holland
Christian welcomed the Zeeland East Chix to the Civic Center on
Friday night for the first home game of the season. As was the case
in the Otsego game this past Tuesday, the Maroons struggled to score
early, but heated up as the game progressed. As a result, Zeeland
East led 17-8 after the first quarter. Sam VanderSluis scored six of
the Maroons' eight points in the second quarter. The Chix, however,
still maintained a 30-16 lead at halftime.
Matt
Maas and Tyler Hyma each scored five points in the third quarter, but
Zeeland East still carried the momentum, knocking down shot after
shot from beyond the arc. The Maroons found themselves down 50-31
going into the fourth quarter. Matt Maas tallied eleven points by
hitting all four of his shots in the quarter. Holland Christian
outscored Zeeland East 19-16 in the final quarter, but Zeeland East
still prevailed with the 67-49 victory.
The
Chix were able to make shots at the right time. Zeeland East hit a
basket at the buzzer for each of the first three quarters, totaling
eight points.
Matt
Maas led the team with 18 points, followed by Sam VanderSluis with
13. Holland Christian will take on Grand Rapids Christian on Friday
night in search of their first victory of the season.
