Porter's clutch free throws help Hart girls basketball escape North Muskegon

Hart guard Rilynn Porter calmly made all three of her free throws after being fouled with 0.7 seconds left in Thursday's game at North Muskegon, enabling the Pirates to escape with a 41-39 victory.
The charity shots ended a strong night for Porter, who had 15 points, including all four of Hart's three-pointers, and bailed out her teammates after a tough night shooting free throws. The team was 15-of-26 at the line for the game.
"It was a struggle all night long, but the girls pulled through it for the win," Hart coach Ron Williamson said.
Aurora Virtanen had nine points for Hart. Delaney Young led the Norse with 10 points.
