Kirtland Firebirds roll over Alpena
 ROSCOMMON – Five players on the Kirtland’s men’s basketball team were in double digits by the end of their 101-75 romp over Alpena Community College on the Firebirds’ home court Saturday, Jan. 22.

Lauren Oberle of Harrison led the Firebirds in scoring with 20 points in one of his best games ever. Bernard Daniels, a force to be reckoned with, remained consistent for the Firebirds, contributing 16 points.

DeMarvelous Carter also had a great game and added 13 points, while David Allison and Frank Washington contributed 12 each as the Firebirds rolled over their northern rivals.

The win moves the Firebirds to 4-2 in the Eastern Conference (14-6 overall), keeping them in the third-place slot, although theirs was one of the few EC games to be played over the weekend as the weather kept most teams from getting together.

The Lumberjacks dropped their conference record to 2-4 (5-10 overall).

The Firebirds continue to play on their home court for now, at the CRAF Center in Roscommon. On Wednesday, Jan. 26, they host Macomb Community College and on Saturday, Jan. 29, they’ll host Wayne County Community College. Game time for the Firebirds is 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and 3 p.m. Saturday. Both games are preceded by Lady Firebirds’ games.
