Northview earns scrappy win

Despite being out-hit 11-4, the Northview Wildcats scrapped their way to a 4-2 victory in the opening game of Saturday’s double header with the visiting Kenowa Hills Knights. A leadoff walk by Ian Mikowski set up a run-scoring single by Kody Alber with two outs, giving Northview an early lead [...]

Pioneers Outgun Wildcats

East Grand Rapids came into tonight’s showdown riding a four game win streak, during which they outscored opponents by an average of twelve points.  If keeping the streak alive wasn’t enough motivation, the Pioneers were also looking to avenge a loss at home against Northview during their earlier match-up this [...]

Wildcats Win Convincingly

Grandville and Jenison were both looking for their first OK Red conference win as they squared off on Friday night.  The Wildcats, in fact, were looking for their first win in general, after losing four very close games by a combined ten points.  After clinging to a slim one point [...]

Northview Too Hot To Handle

The Northview Wildcats, led by senior Darren Kapustka, rode strong play in the second and fourth quarters of action to easily defeat the Zeeland West Dux by a final tally of 57-43.  The Dux outscored the Wildcats in both of the ‘odd’ quarters, but Northview had a dominating 20 point [...]

Eagles Run by Jenison

The Hudsonville Eagles and Jenison Wildcats rivalry has been played out 22 times coming into tonight, and it has seen dominance shift from one side to the other.  Jenison won fourteen of the first fifteen matchups between the schools, but that tide has turned to Hudsonville’s favor, as they have [...]

Going for Two Keeps Holland Undefeated

It was a battle between two unexpected zero-loss teams when the Northview Wildcats played host to the Holland Dutch tonight, and it really was a shame that only one team would remain that way, as both teams put on a spirited effort.  The Wildcat faithful arrived in droves and packed [...]

Falcons Don’t Disappoint, Beat Jenison

Jenison came into Tuesday night’s contest looking to play spoiler to East Kentwood’s quest for an OK Red title, and managed to pull within five late, but in the end the Falcons were just too much for the Wildcats to handle, as they won 70-62. The Wildcats held onto a [...]

Wayland's Wes Hudson lived up to the hype

They were one of the most inspirational stories of the season, not only for their success, but more than that for the unselfishness with which they achieved it.  While they were undoubtedly lead by point guard Wes Hudson, Wayland was the very definition of a team.  Perhaps because of Hudson’s [...]

Congrats and insight from a Wayland superfan

I received this write up from Michael Kanoza, stepfather of Wayland’s Travis Rader, after the Wildcats’ district semifinal win over Ottawa Hills on Wednesday.  It’s a pretty awesome look into a side of high school basketball we don’t often get to see.  Thanks, Michael! Wayland dodges the statistics and Ottawa [...]
