2014-15 Boys Basketball January 6 @ East Grand Rapids

Holland Christian traveled to East Grand Rapids on Tuesday in search of their first road win of the season. Jared Stygstra pocketed three of his four three-point attempts in the first quarter. The Maroons took a 16-10 lead into the second quarter--a lead that they would never give up for the remainder of the game.
Five different scorers accounted for a total of 14 points in the second quarter, extending the Maroons' lead to 30-21 at halftime.
Matt Maas highlighted the third quarter with a two-handed slam on a breakaway for the first dunk of the season for Holland Christian. The Maroons built up a 46-36 lead after three quarters.
Sam VanderSluis registered 13 points in the second half, five of which came from the free-throw line. Matt Maas threw down his second dunk of the game in the final minutes to cap the Maroons' 58-47 victory over the pioneers.
VanderSluis finished with 20 points, followed by Stygstra with 12, and Maas with nine points and two dunks. The team collectively shot 8 for 22 from beyond the arc--much better than the 3 for 17 that they put up against Detroit Country Day last Friday.
Holland Christian will participate in the Two Hearts for One Cause event on Friday at Hamilton. The guys will play at an earlier time of 6:00, followed by the girls at 7:30.
