Fruitport’s Andrew Spyke, who had 17 points and eight rebounds on Friday.

Lots of other players contributed to the offense, including Paschal Jolman (eight points, eight rebounds), Collin Jolman (six points, five rebounds) and Kyle Burke (six points).

“Andrew Spyke had probably his best game of the season,” said Fruitport Coach Steve Erny. “He was efficient around the rim and knocked down some shots from the perimeter. I don’t think they had an answer for our size inside tonight. Another important stat is that eight players scored for us. When we get a balanced scoring effort we are a much better team.

“The second quarter run was huge, and our guys played exceptionally well during that stretch. We defended well and went down on the other end, scoring both inside and outside. This was a big win as we start the second half of the conference season. Holland Christian can be a tough team, especially at the Civic Center, but our players stepped up to the challenge.”

The Trojans are now 9-5 overall and 5-3 in O-K Blue conference play. They will host Allendale on Tuesday.
