Bulldogs bite Warriors

Varsity
The Bandera varsity boys basketball team improved to a perfect 4-0 at home with a 61-45 win over Ingram Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs pulled away early in the third quarter thanks to a series of defensive stops that led to points in transition for the home team.
Bandera outscored the Warriors 36-22 in the second half, thanks in part to a strong fourth quarter from freshman Eli Salas, who finished with 9 points, all in the final eight minutes.
Bandera improves to 7-4 on the season with the win.
Coach’s Notes: “Ingram hit some shots in the first half and we cam e out slow offensively, but the guys did a good job of creating turnovers early in the third quart er to start to pull away. We have to continue to work on starting with more intensity, but we did a good job of winning the rebounding battle from start to finish and of attacking the rim and making plays offensively down the stretch. We will have another chance at four games in three days this weekend and we’re looking forward to continuing to grow as a team early in the season.”
The Bulldogs will look to extend their winning streak to three games when they travel this weekend for the Comfort Tournament.
