fourth-place finish in conference
ROSCOMMON – Kirtland Community College’s men’s basketball team ended its regular season on a high note, defeating Macomb Community College 70-62 on Tuesday, Feb. 22, in Warren.

Mike Dunlop, of Boyne Falls, led the Firebirds with 22 points in the contest. Center Craig Ash, from Pontiac, dominated under the boards with 12 rebounds and added 11 points. DeMarvelous Carter, of Romulus, scored 12 for the Firebirds.

The win boosted the Firebirds above the 50 percent mark with a Michigan Community College Athletic Association Eastern Conference record of 8-7 (18-11 overall). This was good for a fourth-place finish in the conference, behind Wayne County CC in third at 8-6 (11-13).

Mott CC placed first with a perfect 15-0 record (26-2 overall), while Henry Ford CC came in second at 9-5 (17-8).

The Firebirds’ post-season schedule begins Saturday, March 5, when they host Vincennes University (Ind.) at the CRAF Center in Roscommon for the Region XII Division 1 Tournament. Game time is 3 p.m. and there will be an admission charge.

The winner of that game advances to the Region IV tournament in Illinois on March 14.
