The hockey team Lost to Forest Hills  Central last night at home 5-0. For the first time all year, the team  did not give the effort that they would expect of themselves. Only managing 13 shots for in the game. A tough lesson to learn, but one that they will not repeat. With three games to go in the season and their first playoff game on Monday night it’s full speed ahead and time to continue to get better these last few games of the regular season.  The team hosts Kalamazoo Eagles Friday night on Senior Night. 

The hockey team went into Muskegon and battled hard with Mona Shores High School. Fight off a five-minute major in the third. To keep score at 2 to 1.

Sam VanSchepen assisted on the goal. Danny Groskiewicz stood in front and made sure the goalie did not see the shot. Noah Herzhaft played well in the net, standing on his head at times stopping 38 of 42 shots. 

The Eagles battled hard throughout the game, keeping the game close until the last minute of the game. The first period ended tied at zero. The Eagles killed off a five-minute major in this period. In the second period, Eagles gave up a power-play goal and then another goal 12 seconds later to go down 2 to 0.
