The Chix hosted Jenison tonight and came away with a 65 -50 win, leveling their record at 1 and 1.  This was the first win for Coach Carlson as Zeeland East’s Varsity Basketball coach.  The Chix took the lead early and led 11 to 10 after the first quarter.  Jenison took a 3 point lead early in the 2^nd quarter, but the Chix went on a 19 to 4 run to end the first half to take control of the game, leading 32 to 19 at halftime.  The Chix extended their lead to 20 points in the 3^rd quarter and after Jenison closed to lead late in the 4^th quarter  to 11 points, the Chix went 6 for 6 from the free throw line to secure the win. 

The Chix were lead by the inside-outside combination of Trip Riemersma and Nate Claerbaut.  Riemersma scored 19 points and grabbed 4 rebounds, while going 8 for 8 from the free throw line.  Nate Claerbaut scored 19 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and 3 blocking shots.  Brandon Claerbaut added 7 points, while Ethan Houghtaling added 6 points and 9 boards.
