Fruitport will host Hopkins in another conference game on Tuesday night.

“The intensity was lacking to start, so it took us a minute to get rolling,” said Fruitport head coach Brian Packard. “Once we got rolling we were able to put the game away pretty early into the second quarter.

“Everyone that saw the floor scored and that was important to us as a team. We’ve got two in a row now with a big game against Hopkins Tuesday night. Need to play well and fire on all cylinders to beat them. They crushed us in the first meeting, so we are looking to fight back a little better.”eddieminith brandsstorage
