“It was a pretty good effort tonight on both ends,” Baldwin coach JJ Eads said. “Sixty-two points is a lot for us to give up, but that was the pace of play tonight. I’m proud of the guys and now we get ready for a big league home game on Wednesday (Feb. 1) vs. Marion.”
Manistee 60, Pine River 24
Manistee had quarter leads of 23-7, 30-13 and 41-20 in defeating Pine River on Friday.
