PLYMOUTH — Plymouth got a big lift from a freshman on Senior Night, and the Pilgrims earned a much-needed win over John Glenn 43-30 at The Rock Tuesday.
Plymouth freshman Mack Mercer scored at will on perfect 8-for-8 finishing from the floor on his way to a game- and season-high 20 points to help his team snap a four-game losing streak and finish the season strong against the Pilgrims’ Sectional 19 opponents.
LAKEVILLE — LaVille’s boys basketball team took care of the outcome with a 23-2 game-opening run against Oregon-Davis Tuesday.
That reduced the rest of the game’s drama to settling state leading scorer Zach Richie’s final point total.
Buoyed by a revolving double team, the Lancers and foul trouble held Richie to 13 points — more than 25 points below his season average — and junior guard Jordyn Williams led four Lancers in double figures with 22 points as LaVille doubled up the Bobcats 80-40 at Dale E. Cox Gymnasium.
