MUSKEGON — Whitehall’s boys basketball team was looking for a well-rounded team effort in Thursday night’s West Michigan Conference Lakes Division contest at Oakridge.
That’s what the Vikings got, as their starters played fewer minutes than usual and made way for their teammates to see the floor in a 68-46 victory over the Eagles.
It was the second-straight win after three consecutive losses for Whitehall, which improved to 6-4 overall and 3-1 in WMC Lakes play.
Oakridge is now 4-4 overall and 2-3 in WMC Lakes action.
