Fairview tops Posen; Alcona beats Oscoda

FAIRVIEW–The Posen girls basketball team took a tough loss Thursday against Fairview, losing 37-22.

After the first quarter, the teams were tied 7-7, but by half time Fairview was up 18-9. Posen was able to cut the lead after the third quarter with Fairview only leading 20-18, but Posen wasn’t able to make a full comeback in the fourth quarter.

“We have a young team this year. We play good enough defense to win games, but we don’t make enough shots to win games,” Posen coach Karl Momrik said. “Next year we’ll have more experience and it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Posen’s leading scorer of the night was Cami LaTulip with ten points.

“In the fourth our defense was more stingy and we held down the floor. We were able to get some points on the board,” Fairview coach Marc Winton said.

The leading scorers for Fairview were Alyson Winton with 13 points, Andrea Ford with 11, and Jenna DeJarlais with nine.

Posen (8-11) plays next Tuesday in Wolverine.
