From there, Kelloggsville was able to use its press to increase its lead to as many as 12 early in the third quarter. However, Holland did not quit and climbed back within a possession with time running out. "Unfortunately, we came up just short tonight," said Coach Telgenhof. "As the game went on, we handled their pressure better and were able to use our zone to get them out of rhythm. This is a team that is building game by game so that we are playing our best by the time districts roll around. Each time on the floor is a chance for us to grow, have some fun, and get better." Amari Copado led the Dutch with 12 points. Miona Rogers added 6.
