The Chix were home on Friday night, hosting the Hamilton Hawkeyes for Senior night.  The Chix got off to a slow start, down 17-5 after the first quarter and were never able to recover, dropping a 55-46 decision to the Hawkeyes.

 The Chix were led in scoring by Brandon Claerbaut, who scored a career-high 21 points and grabbed four rebounds.  Ethan Houghtaling scored 8 points, with nine rebounds and dished out three assists.  Trip Riemersma and Nate Claerbaut each chipped in with 7 points.

A massive shout-out to the Chix Coop, who are finalists in the M.H.S.A.A. Battle of the fans.  The Coop brought high energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the game and made for a great evening of basketball.  Thank you to the Zeeland High Pep band, who were in attendance at the game as well.  The music they played added to the great atmosphere on Friday night.

A huge thank you to Jackie Kamps, who is retiring after 45 years of service as Zeeland East's official scorer.  Jackie's dedication to Zeeland's basketball programs is unmatched and greatly appreciated.

The Chix are back home Tuesday night for their last home game of the year.  Come out early and watch the Freshmen, JV, and Varsity play as they host Unity Christian.
