Prep Flyers Defeat Top Ranked Sterling Heights Challengers

The Prep Turnstone Flyers (6-4) wheelchair basketball team found a way to defeat the previous undefeated #2 Prep Sterling Heights Challengers (11-2) two times yesterday (Saturday, January 17, 2009) at Turnstone Center. In the 100_0835first game the Prep Flyers broke out to an early 17-5 lead at halftime as they cruised along to win 27-15. In the second game the Challengers came out with vengeance as they led 10-6 at halftime and looked good going into the 4th quarter with a 14-12 lead; however, the Prep Flyers came alive and went on a 12-0 run to win 24-14. *The Challengers were a little shorthanded this weekend as only 5 players of the 13 member team made the trip.

The Varsity teams from both the Flyers & Challengers played two games yesterday as the Challengers were victorious in both 40-10 and 52-19. The Flyers battle throughout (especially in the 2nd game); however, the Flyers chemistry was a little different without one of their starters who wasn’t able to make the trip
