Free throws matter a lot, as the Fruitport boys basketball team learned on Tuesday night.
The Trojans were outscored 14-4 from the line and ended up falling to Fruitport Calvary Christian 62-57 in a tight non-conference matchup.
Fruitport fell to 1-1 on the season.
Kyle Burke had a good night for the Trojans, scoring 21 points. DayDay Williams added 13 points while Ryan Bosch scored eight.

“On our end, we did get a lot of great looks throughout the game that just didn’t fall. We couldn’t get to the line as often as we’d like, going 4-for-7 in the game. In comparison, they were able to get to the line and go 14-for-27. That discrepancy, and our inability to knock in many good looks, became a recipe for a loss.
“We will learn from this early season loss for sure. I am excited to get back after it tomorrow with our team.”
