“Laporte was down a couple of starters, which made the outcome of this game pretty lopsided, but it gave us a chance to get every guy in the scorebook and to reward our bench guys with a lot of playing time,” said Nevis head coach Scott Kramer, whose team defeated Laporte 78-34 on Dec. 17. “We started the game 24-0 and then started rotating guys early.”
