After winning Round One against Waverly last Thursday, the Burlingame boys took Round Two on Tuesday, defeating the Bulldogs, 55-44, in the two teams’ second matchup of the early season.
Burlingame found success by fixing its mistakes from the first meeting. The Bearcats gave up only seven offensive rebounds Tuesday after allowing 17 in the two teams’ first game.
Burlingame also was much better from the free-throw line, making 17 of its 26 attempts. The Bearcats went 12-for-27 from the charity stripe Thursday.
Waverly came out prepared to face Burlingame, taking a 13-12 lead after the first quarter.
Burlingame grabbed the advantage for good shortly after that, going on an 11-5 run in the second quarter and out-scoring the Bulldogs in every other period.
Chris Patterson led Burlingame, scoring 26 points with a perfect 10-for-10 performance from the free-throw line. Chris Walker also added nine.
Mason Fleming was the leading scorer for Waverly with 11.
