The Powers Catholic Girl’s Varsity Basketball team opened their season with a big road win against Clarkston High School.  With a 62-55 victory the Chargers were paced in scoring by Junior Kendyl Smith with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals.  Freshman Evah Smith made her debut for the Chargers with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.  Junior Paige Ringwelski helped contribute 10 points for the Chargers.

“I thought we had a good night overall.  Clarkston is a tough opponent and they’re going to win a lot of games this season.  Aaron does a great job with his team and had them prepared to compete.  I just think tonight we were fortunate to make more shots.”  - Coach Trevithick

The Chargers shot the ball well in deed going 47.2% from the field along with 41% from deep.  The real number though was going 18-22 from the free throw line.

“I think the difference in this game was our ability to get to the line and convert.  Shooting over 80% from the free throw line made a huge difference as we were able to keep a lead late into the game by stepping up and knocking down free throws.” - Coach Trevithick

Powers returns to action on Tuesday December 10 @ Ypsilanti Arbor Prep.
