HOLLAND, MI – Muskegon's defense sparked a strong first half, and the Big Reds' free-throw shooting carried them in the second half of Monday's 68-48 Division 1 boys basketball regional semifinal win over East Kentwood at West Ottawa. The Big Reds used a 19-1 run spanning the late first and early second quarters to build a 29-5 lead over East Kentwood, and though the Falcons showed their fight with a spirited comeback that cut the deficit to five points in the fourth, the early deficit proved too big to overcome.
