The Holland
Christian boys basketball team finished its season with a 18-7
overall record. The Maroons' 7-3 conference record
was enough to clinch a share of the OK Green title for the second
consecutive season. They
finished the season on a 10-game win streak before they were
eliminated in the regional final against Spring Lake.
The team's success
came from a very strong lineup that dominated on both sides of the
ball. Tyler Hyma, Alex Bosch, and Jared Stygstra led the backcourt by
shooting a combined 37% from beyond the arc. The Maroons also
targeted Sam VanderSluis, who averaged 15 points per game in the
center position. Matt Maas' ability to both drive the basket, dunk,
and hit 42% of his three-point attempts made it extremely difficult
for defenders to stop him.
The five starters
shot a combined 74% from the free-throw line. This ability to hit
clutch free-throws pushed the Maroons above their opponents in a
couple close games, notably the 53-52 victory over Detroit Country
Day and the 55-53 victory over Byron Center.
Holland Christian
also had a very talented bunch of players that were able to come off
the bench and drill a shot when they needed to.
The Maroons boasted
four players who stood at least six-foot-six. In addition to points,
these players combined for countless rebounds, steals, and powerful
blocks throughout the season.
Holland Christian
will graduate six very talented seniors, but the future of Coach
Mejeur's basketball program is nothing but bright.
