Ocelots Reach Triple Digits in Their 2nd Win of the Season

LIVONIA, Mi – The Ocelots opened their home gym for the 2024-25 season hosting MCCAA foe North Central Michigan College.

It was a very slow start offensively by both teams on Saturday. Just under 4 minutes into the game, the scoreboard read 2-0 Ocelots following 2 free throws by Joshua Perkins earlier in the half. Kaden Huston and Perkins would each hit a 3 on back-to-back possessions to just out to an 8-0 lead. At the 10-minute mark of the half, Schoolcraft would lead 16-8 before it seems like a lid would be taken off the Ocelots basket. In the remaining 10 minutes of the 1^st  half, Schoolcraft would put up 24 points, leading 40-17. Huston would lead the Ocelots in the 1^st half with 11 points, followed by Booker Washington with 8.

Offense would not come sparingly in the 2^nd half. As a team, Schoolcraft would score 60 points while NCMC would improve their half with 29 points. Huston would once again lead the team with 21 points in the 2^nd half, making 32 total points, and Washington would put up 11 more with Rael Cochran scoring 12 of his own.

4 Ocelots would enter double-figures, led by Huston with 32, Washington with 19, Cochran with 17 and Perkins with 13. Marshall Thorn and Washington led Schoolcraft on the glass with 7 each and Cochran led the team in the assist column with 6. As a team Schoolcraft would hoot 59% from behind the arc on their way to a 100-46 win.

Schoolcraft returns to the hardwood on Wednesday as they travel to Southwestern Michigan College to face-off with the Roadrunners (4-0).
