The Chix hosted Thorn-apple Kellogg Friday night in front of a festive and rowdy Christmas crowd.  The Chix didn't disappoint and came away with a 74-52 win.  The Chix trailed after the first quarter 13 -10 and were down 21-15 midway through the 2nd quarter when they caught fire.  The Chix went on a 20-1 run to finish the 2nd quarter, punctuated by a Nate Claerbaut dunk and the Chix lead 35-22 at the half.  In a foul-filled 2nd half, the Chix lead by double digits most of the way and pulled away late to secure the victory.

Trip Riemersma led the team in scoring with 20 points and 5 rebounds.  Nathan Claerbaut added 14 points, 11 boards, and 6 block shots.  Davis Courtright scored 11 points, going 9 of 10 from the free-throw line and Brandon Claerbaut added 10 points and 3 assists.  Athey Dykehouse chipped in with 4 points and 5 rebounds.

The Chix are now 2 -1 on the season.  The Chix are back in action on Friday, December 27 at 7;30 as they host Grant as part of the Zeeland East Holiday Tournament.   Hope to see you back!
