Prep Basketball: Gremlin girls slip past Ontonagon, 67-63

ONTONAGON — The Houghton Gremlins stayed one step ahead of the Ontonagon Gladiators and secured a 67-63 win on Thursday.

“We battled hard all evening,” said Houghton head coach Julie Filpus. “Ontonagon kept closing our small gaps. I would have liked to see our girls lock down better on defense, but we will enjoy the win.”

Paige DeForge had an impressive six 3-pointers. The last one went in as the Gremlins were up by one with just 20 seconds to go in the game.

“It was a huge shot,” Filpus said.

She added that Maryellen Trewhella played her most complete game of the year as she led the Gremlins scoring with 26 points.
