On Monday Ionia travelled to Fowlerville to take on the Gladiators. Again, it was a slow start for the Bulldogs falling behind 0-6 within the first couple of minutes. At the end of the first we were down 5-12. The Bulldogs were able to win the second quarter 9-8 and going into halftime the score was 14-20. Costly mistakes on defense continued to plague the Bulldogs in the second half. The Bulldogs would pull close within 4 points and then give up two easy baskets to go down by 8. At the end of the third quarter the score was 24-31, Fowlerville. In the fourth Ionia was unable to come back and the final score was 32-42. Leading scorers were Melayna Braman with 22 points, Kara Kramer-Lake with 6 points, Hailey Fuentes 2 points, and Rajalyaj Esquivel with 2. Next game is away at Portland on Wednesday.
