Basketball this week-
The regular season comes to an end this week with two home games! Tuesday at home with Marion and home on Thursday with Evart. Looking to play both games like tournament games with a focus on defense, rebounding and execution. I also would like to mix in a few new wrinkles as well. As of late I would like to think we are playing better offense having scored 66, 61, 77, and 87 points in the last 4 games.
This past week the varsity Ramblers beat Manistee 77-67 on Tuesday despite no Triston Wilson who was sick and giving up 30 points to the one of the Chippewas. One key player in the game was Tyler Sterk who scored 23 points after struggling the last 4 to 5 games on offense.Tyler had 4 - 3 pointers in that game to support the 23 points. Cole Powell also had 23 points with 5 - 3 pointers all in the first quarter. In all the Ramblers had 10, 3 pointers on the night. Jordan Vanderhoef had 10 points off the bench while Seth Barnette dumped in 7 as well. The disappointment on the night was giving up 67 points, allowing a 30 point scorer and shooting 13 for 30 from the foul line. All things that need to be corrected before the tournament. Up 27 - 12 after the first quarter the Ramblers allowed the Manistee Chippewas to close the gap at halftime to 33 -31. This also has become a issue that needs to be corrected!
On Thursday the 20th we traveled across town to NMC to face a conference rival. The Ramblers came out with a focus and were up 25 - 10 at the end of the first quarter, again allowing another team the Comets to score 21 points in the 2nd quarter to lead 55 -31 at half. Just losing mental focus in the second on defense again. The defense improved from Tuesday overall, I liked the energy, the hustle and the fast break points that were created by our defense. We also out rebounded the Comets and forced more turnovers. Four Ramblers found their way into double figures with Tyler Sterk scoring 17 points, Cole Powell had 14 points and one really nice dunk! Triston Wilson came back after being sick Tuesday scoring 14 points. Garett Gugle and Jordan Vanderhoef provided a nice one two punch off the bench scoring 13 and 10 respectively! The free throw line again not good though
14-24.
Two wins this week would send the Ramblers into March Madness 14-6. After starting 1-4!
The J.V Ramblers won two this week beating the Manistee Chippewas 58 -24. The young Ramblers used multiple players to score. Logan Eling 11 points, Craig Sterk 11 points, Jimmy Schneider 8 points,Tyler Clark 7 points, Carter Brunink and Donovan Quist 6 points. The win pushed the J.V record to 14 - 2!
On Thursday the Ramblers beat cross town rival NMC 83-53 with Jimmy Schneider scoring 18 points, Logan Eling 23 points, with Craig Sterk netting 16 and Carter Brunink 10 points respectively. This J.V team continues to score well, and find different guys on different nights. They are a fun group to coach and to be around. A great group of young men! I thought Donovan Quist, Dylan Boonstra, Emmitt Bronkema Brendon Sutten along with Logan Taylor played well tonight on defense and with the running game.
High School P.E- This week I will get started with some testing on push-ups, sit-ups and the mile run. This will be part of the final exam at the end of the year. Monday, Wednesday and Friday will continue to be Physical Training days with stretching, push-ups,(15), sit-ups (25) and running (5) laps prior to participating in an activity. On Tuesday and Thursday we will continue with a warm-up and go into an activity afterwards. Monday's activity will be volleyball, Tuesday's avtivity will be flag football, Wednesday will be floor hockey, Thursday some soccer and Friday dodge ball!
Dress and participation are necessary for an "A" grade.
General Shop- Students in General shop should be doing one of the following on their nightstand this week: Finishing their drawer (dovetail), sanding, staining, or putting on hardware. Everyone has something to do! Homework, failure to clean-up, work on your project or being in class on time will hurt your grade.
Advance Shop- The year is half over and my question to advance shop students: Is your project half done? The main focus for every advance shop student right now is to get something done constructively everyday. This week it is work, work and work again along with clean-up.
