West Bloomfield knew they were going to have their hands full.
The Lakers battled and clawed against the favored Belleville Tigers but could not overcome a 21-7 start as they fell 60-55 on Friday afternoon at the Breslin Center at Michigan State.
West Bloomfield made their fourth trip to East Lansing but it was going to be a tough one against a really good Belleville team.
The Lakers played the Tigers earlier in the season in the OAA/KLAA challenge in Belleville. The Tigers won that one 84-49 on December 12th. This game was much closer than that one.
Breasia Gamble-Jones and Sheridan Beal had 17 points each while Londyn Hall had 13 points for the Lakers.
Sydney Savoury had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Se'Creete Carter had 18 points, and Paisley Stephens had 10 points for Belleville.
The start was the difference of the game to which the Tigers hung on while the Lakers battled throughout. West Bloomfield got it to 31-29 in the third quarter but Belleville pulled away going on a 7-0 run.
The Lakers started the season playing a tough schedule starting at 1-4 but went 19-5 since to get back to the Breslin Center.
West Bloomfield has Beal and Hall coming back even though there will be some questions. They lose both Gamble-Jones sisters along with Ava Lord for Coach Darrin McAllister.
The Lakers will be back next season.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
