The Falcons took over the game from the get-go, outscoring the Wildcats 27-2 in the first quarter of play. They led 48-9 by halftime and cruised to the win.
“Homecoming brought the community together in the way only small towns can,” Falcons’ coach Ashley Lubera said. “The gym doors open early, familiar faces filling the stands, and a shared buzz that something special was about to unfold. The varsity basketball team fed off that energy, playing with heart and purpose as the crowd roared behind them.”
Ben Roberson led a dominant performance by Pentwater, scoring 18 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Brody Austin also had 18 points and pulled in 10 boards, and Jacobo Martin racked up eight steals to go with his 15 points. Abram Kieda chipped in nine points.
