BAY CITY CENTRAL - Dec. 21, 2006 - Ogemaw Heights took on Bay City Central in a non-conference swim meet on Thursday and came up with a 110-76 loss.
"This was a good meet for the guys," said Ogemaw coach Louise Hofer. "BCC has a smaller but very strong team. It was good competition and it is always fun to go up against swimmers who we don't see in conference meets. They give us some new faces to race against, which rejuvenates everybody."
