Contracted Kirtland team defeated by Mott
ROSCOMMON – The Firebirds’ Bernard Daniels fired in an amazing 30 points for the Kirtland Community College men’s basketball team Wednesday, Jan. 19, in Roscommon but it wasn’t enough for the win as Kirtland took a 90-75 loss to the Eastern Conference leader, Mott Community College.

Kirtland’s conference record now stands at 3-2 (13-6 overall), while Mott remains undefeated at 5-0.

It was a disappointing loss for the Firebirds, who may have stood a better chance of keeping up with Mott if they’d been at full strength, but with two lead players sitting the bench, there was barely time for the Firebirds to breathe.

Frank Washington added 11 points for the Firebirds and Craig Ash netted 9.

The Firebirds’ remain at home for their next three games, beginning Saturday, Jan. 22, when they host Alpena Community College with a game time of 3 p.m. Tip off on Wednesday, Jan. 26, is 7:30 p.m. when the Firebirds host Macomb Community College; and again at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29, when they host Wayne County Community College.
