White Cloud traveled to Pentwater tonight in a non-conference matchup. The importance of playing talented non-conference games was the challenge the team faced in tonight's contest with White Cloud. The Falcons started the game out strong, keeping the scoring within 4 until the final minute of the first quarter when White Cloud knocked down multiple 3 pointers. ( 10-18) This hot streak continued for them into the second and third quarters as well. It proved to be all White Cloud offensively, shooting the lights out from 3 ( hitting 8 total in both quarter combined). The strong defensive presence rattled the Falcons and shots did not fall scoring 6pts and 8pts. The 4th quarter the Falcons started to find their team play and work together. It was however a little too late with the huge lead that White Cloud created. The Falcons lost a tough game tonight.
