Pentwater boys basketball hangs with Baldwin into 4th quarter, but falls short

Pentwater did what it could to keep up with a traditionally strong Baldwin squad that currently sits atop the West Michigan D League Tuesday night, but fell to the Panthers 73-42.
The Falcons (2-8, 1-6 WMD) were only down 12 points going into the final quarter, 46-34, but Baldwin exploded for 27 points in the fourth to pull away for the win.
"Despite the challenge, the Falcons showed resilience, with their sophomores stepping up in a big way," Pentwater coach Ashley Lubera said. "The team's effort and composure helped keep the game within 10 points until the fourth quarter, giving the Falcons a chance deep into the contest."
Abram Kieda posted a double-double for Pentwater, with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Brody Austin chipped in 13 points and eight boards. Jacobo Martin had 10 points.
"This team continues to grow with each game, learning how to play together and trust one another," Lubera said. "As they limit mistakes and sharpen their execution, the Falcons are positioning themselves to peak at the right time."
