What a great atmosphere at Grand Rapids Christian High School for the boy's basketball season opener versus the South Christian Sailors. The Eagles's defense suffocated the Sailors in the 1st quarter. The Eagles came out flying in with their suffocating defense. The defense created great offensive opportunities for the Eagles to score in the first half. Jaylan Ouwinga also helped set the tone by making his presence felt in the 1st quarter with 10 points and a monster dunk. The Eagles went into the half with a 28 - 25 lead.

The Eagles defense got them going in the 2nd half holding the Sailors to 10 points and scoring 17 points. The Eagles defense was great in the second half making it very difficult for the Sailors to score. Overall, the Eagles did a great job sharing the basketball and playing great team defense. The Eagles had multiple players in double figures making them hard to defend. The Eagles have a lot of versatile players that can make plays on both sides of the ball. The Eagles get the win 58 - 48 tonight.

The Eagles were led by senior Jaylan Ouwinga and Nate Johnson both with 16 points. Tyler Davis chipped in with 13 points and Malachi Hooser had 8 points to cap things off. Eagles are back on the hardwood Friday vs Wyoming Wolves on the road.
