  The Ann Arbor Skyline boys basketball program's first official varsity game is in the books.

  Unfortunately for the Eagles, their first official varsity victory was put on hold Friday night, courtesy of Plymouth, which clipped their hosts, 62-46.

  The victory evened the Wildcats' record at 1-1.

  Plymouth will take its season-opening road show to Dexter on Tuesday before dropping in on Salem Thursday night.

  "It was a very tightly-called game by the refs, but I give our guys credit for adjusting," said Plymouth coach Mike Soukup. "There were 30 teams fouls in the first half alone, which is why it was only 23-19 (in favor of the 'Cats). It's tough to get in a flow when there are that many fouls called."

  Plymouth senior guard Mike Nadratowski was definitely in the flow, posting a 21-point night to lead the 'Cats. Pat Salo finished with 10 points while Brennen Beyer added 15 points and 11 boards.

  "Our big three played very, very well," said Soukup. "But we had a lot of guys contribute, too, which was the key to the win. Zach Yokom, Jeff Heuer and Jake Morris did a lot of the little things to help us win that we weren't doing last year. Those guys deserve a lot of credit."

  Plymouth pulled away in the third quarter when they outscored the Eagles, 18-7.

  Skyline, which opened in 2008, does not yet have a senior class.
