It was the team's first loss of the season.
The Bulldogs struggled against the Wolves’ size in the first half as offensive rebounds and second-chance points allowed Dilley to take control of the game in the early going.
After allowing 37 first-half points, Bandera had a newfound defensive focus in the second half and held the Wolves to ju st 23 total points in the third and fourth quarters while working to fight back from a 20-point deficit to tie the game in the final seconds.
Junior point guard Noah Barnett got an offensive rebound and hit a 3-point shot with 26 seconds remaining in the fourth to tie the game at 60-60. The Bulldogs got a pair of stops in the final seconds to force over time, but Dilley began to find success at the foul line as the Wolves shot 56 total free throws, including 14 in the fourth quarter and 27 in two four-minute overtime periods.
Braden Cox hit a shot at the buzzer of the first OT to send the game to the second overtime period before Bandera’s comeback effort ran out of steam, and the Wolves escaped with a win.
Barnett finished with an impressive 26 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals to lead the way for Bandera, while senior Ryan Perez tallied double digit rebounds for the third time in four games to finish with 8 points and 14 boards.
