GO RED! GO BLACK! Great job, Falcon Baseball!

Grandville and East Kentwood baseball teams each won once in their doubleheader on Monday after Grandville claimed Game 1 9-3 and East Kentwood fought back in Game 2 for a 13-7 win.

Brian Capiello lead the Grandville bats with two singles and a home run, and Mitch Dykestra earned the win on the mound, throwing five strikeouts and keeping the East Kentwood batters off balance.

Kyle Frieburg helped lead East Kentwood at the plate with two singles, two doubles, and scoring three runs, while Alex Bergers earned the win after throwing six strikeouts.

'I think it's the type of thing where you are seeing good pitches and you are comfortable at the plate, you dig in and are able to drive the baseball," East Kentwood coach Tim McKinnon said. "And that's what we did."

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A FALCON! Congratulations, EK Girls Soccer!

Five different players scored for East Kentwood as the Falcons clinched the OK Red girls soccer title for the seventh straight season with a 5-0 win over visiting Holland West Ottawa on Monday.

Kami Baker, Brittany Tanner, Jewell Edwards, Izzy Leon and Abbey Tyson all scored a goal for East Kentwood, and Chani Warfield chipped in two assists.

Kasey Stehouwer made four saves to earn the shutout for East Kentwood.

"The OK Red is one of the best leagues in the state, and winning it is one of our goals every year," East Kentwood coach Jon Conlon said. "Every game is very difficult in this league, and no one is prepared to give you anything.

"It's a marathon every season, but our team is a resilient group; they work hard and they know how to handle adversity."

East Kentwood (11-2-3, 8-0-1 OK Red), ranked eighth in Division 1 in the most recent coaches' poll, will finish the regular season with a game against Hudsonville on Wednesday, and will open district play against conference rival Rockford on May 28th.

"We're excited to get the opportunity to extend our season against Rockford," Conlon said. "It's a great rivalry, and it's going to be an all-out battle."
