Varsity
Pleasanton
After playing one of their best first quarters of the season to jump out to an early lead on the Eagles, the Bulldogs struggled against Pleasanton’s full-court pressure in the second.
Self-inflicted errors by Bandera allowed the Eagles to take control of the game and pull away before the Bulldogs settled down and got back into a rhythm to cut into the deficit in the third and fourth quarters.
Luke Barnett had a team-high 12 points in the loss while Gunnar Winkler added 8. All 12 varsity players contributed to the scoring effort. Lukas Jackson had a team-high eight rebounds and Kayden Brown had seven rebounds in the 84-49 loss.
Harper
After the tough loss against Pleasanton, the Bulldogs bounced back nicely Friday night with a 62-55 win over Harper.
Bandera held off a furious fourth quarter comeback effort by the Longhorns and sealed the victory with clutch defensive stops down the stretch.
Barnett again led the way with 14 points, while Trace Decker added 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Winkler had 9 points, Lukas Jackson had 8 points and 14 rebounds and Tyler Moore had 8 points and seven boards to pace the Bulldogs in the win.
Gonzales
In the final game of the week, Bandera got off to a slow start in the first half as Gonzales caught fire from behind the arc early in the game.
The Bulldogs competed much more efficiently and cut the deficit in half after the halftime break before running out of gas down the stretch and falling to the Apaches, 79-57.
Barnett continued to lead the way offensively, scoring 13 points, while Lukas Jackson (8), Liam DeMarchi (8), Moore (5), Winkler (5), Decker (4), Kayden Brown (3) and Ryan Perez (2) also contributed on the scoreboard.
The Bulldogs dropped to 3-4 on the season and will be back in action on Tuesday on the road against Ingram. It will be another three-game week for Bandera, as the team travels to Blanco on Friday night before hosting Comfort on Saturday.
