We were proud of our unselfishness as we had 15 assists, and excitement for everyone's success!"

Comments: "We are really proud with how we played tonight in our home opener and on a Monday. Portland is so well coached, we did a great job with executing our game plan and got some really nice contributions from many guys. Axel Newell played a great all around game and is becoming more and more comfortable in just his 2nd high school game. Dylan Carman was very active scoring around the basket for us and made some big plays late. Adam Barton played huge inside snagging 13 rebounds for us, and Braxton Stenger did a tremendous job defending their all-state player. A great around team win!" Stat Leaders: Dylan Carman 20 pts, 7 rebs, 2 assts; Axel Newell 13 pts, 10 rebs, 4 assts, 2 stls; Logan Thompson 9 pts, 5 rebs; Braxton Stenger 7 pts, 3 rebs, 2 assts, Adam Barton 5 pts, 13 rebs Team Records: Ovid-Elsie 2-0, Portland 1-2

This was a really nice road win over a solid Bath team, and great way to start the season. Newell and Thompson did a nice job pacing us tonight, but many guys made plays when we needed them to be made. Dylan Carman also stepped up big late in the game and went 4/4 from the free-throw line to ice the game. Stat Leaders: Axel Newell 12 pts, 8 rebs, 2 assts; Logan Thompson 12 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assts; Dylan Carman 9 pts, 3 assts, Adam Barton 8 pts, 8 rebs Team Records: Ovid-Elsie 1-0, Bath 0-1
