On paper, Onekama girls basketball (6-0) was a significant favorite Tuesday night when they traveled to Leland (4-0).
But don’t tell the Comets that, as they handled business with a monster 46-36 victory over the conference and state-leading Portagers.
“From start to finish, this was our most complete game of the year, and it really showed our potential for what we can accomplish this season. We executed our game plan to perfection against the #5 ranked team in the state and did a fantastic job withstanding Onekama’s defensive pressure all game. Our defensive rotations were sharp, and our players did a great job of communicating and playing in transition,” Leland coach Ryan Knudsen said. “I could not be more proud of their effort in preparation for this game, and even though this was an outstanding win early in the season, we still have a lot of room for improvement, and we are looking forward to the challenges we will face each game and how they will help us continue to grow and improve as a team.”
