Fremont 71 Spring Lake 51
It is official: the Fremont Packers are Lakes 8 Champs! Fremont did so by building a big lead over visiting Spring Lake, watching the Lakers get within striking distance in the fourth, then running away with a late push. Fremont was cooking with gas in the first half as the Packers pulled away with a 21-5 first quarter advantage for a 43-22 halftime lead. Spring Lake turned the tide in the third quarter and stormed back on a 20-9 run. The guests got as close as four points before the Packers found some rhythm over the final minutes. Zach Derks led the Packers with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Sean Hendon added 13 points and Jeremy Gerth totaled 11 points and seven steals. C.T. pushed the Packer offense from the point guard position and handed out six assists.
