LAKEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL: 48
On Monday, November 25th Ionia traveled to Lakewood to take on the unbeaten Vikings. The Bulldogs battled the whole game but came up short 48-41. Once again a disappointing 2nd quarter was too much to overcome. Outscored 16-3 in the second quarter left Ionia down 25-19 at the half. The Dawgs cut the deficit to one point towards the middle of the 3rd quarter but trailed by 8 going into the 4th quarter. Despite a valiant effort the final difference was 7 points. While unable to break into the win column the team showed their grit after losing to Lakewood 59-19 in the season opener. It was a strong effort from the Bulldogs against a very good opponent! The loss does drop the team to 0-6 for the season.
