HART — The Hart Pirates defeated the Holton Red Devils 54-17 in West Michigan Conference Rivers Division action Tuesday, Dec. 16.

“The girls started out a bit flat but got things going a bit in the second half,” said Pirates Coach Ron Williamson. “Rilynn Porter scored 16 points, Reese Smith scored 14, followed by Aurora Virtanen had 8 and Macy Riley had 7. Overall, I’m happy with the performance, but a lot of growth is still needed if we want to reach our goals.”

Hart is off until Jan. 6 when they travel to Hesperia after winter break.

Hart scorers:

  • Rilynn Porter, 16
  • Reese Smith, 14
  • Aurora Virtanen, 8
