Run the rapids game

As for the game, the teams played in four eight-minute quarters with a running clock. Big Rapids ended the first quarter with a lead. The back-and-forth continued in the second quarter as Big Rapids went into halftime holding a slim advantage over Grand Rapids. However, Big Rapids went on a major run to end the game and came out on top, But for the athletes, coaches, and fans in attendance, the game was less about the end result and more about bringing people together and having fun.

Leading the way in scoring for Big Rapids was Nick Borders with 10 points, while Tyler Lawton chipped in with eight points. Grand Rapids coach, Sandy Marlink, said for the team it is all about going out and having fun rather than winning or losing.

Perhaps one of the most heartfelt moments of the event came after the game was over when fans lined up around the court to give all of the athletes high fives at the conclusion of the game. Moving forward, Strnad said focusing on getting more fans out to the event and creating more awareness would be a great way to continue to add to the environment of the game.
