In a struggle until the very end, the Burlingame Bearcats came out with a 57-48 victory over the Chase County Bulldogs.
“I think both teams played really hard,” Chase County coach Landon Hinkson said. “I think the big difference in the game was the free throws, and we just missed out on the opportunities.”
Even with Burlingame’s free throws, the game didn’t end with a huge deficit. Only ahead by three points at the half, the Bearcats took their game to the next level and finished the game with a nine-point lead.
Unfortunately, both teams faced the consequences of losing some of their leading scorers. In the fourth quarter the Bearcats saw Chris Patterson foul out, while the Bulldogs lost Lee Glanville.
Zach Dodson helped carry the Bearcats to victory with a 19-point effort.
Brian Palermo contributed 18 for Chase County.
