Bulldogs garner first win of season over Fox Tech
By Brady Keane
BHS Boys Varsity Head Coach
The Bandera varsity boys basketball team got off to a fast start Friday night against San Antonio Fox Tech and then held off a strong comeback effort from the Buffaloes to edge out a 49-44 win on Little Bulldog Night.
Bandera led 31-15 at the half before Fox Tech caught fire and knocked down three consecutive three point shots in the third quarter to make things interesting entering the fourth. The Bulldogs got the stops they needed down the stretch and did an excellent job of controlling the rebounding battle, out rebounding Fox Tech 47-31 in the victory.
The Bulldogs were led by Isaac Segura, who made his first start at the varsity level and thrived while posting his first career double-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and a block. Eli Salas also had his first career double-double, posting 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal. Cale Barnett brought a ton of energy on the defensive end of the court and posted eight points, five rebounds and four steals. Salvador Enriquez had eight points and five rebounds, and Kayden Brown had five points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. The Bulldogs improved to 1-1 on the season with the win.
“It was exciting to see the energy and intensity we played with in the first half. That is the brand of basketball we like to play, and we got off to a great start. We got a little too passive in the second half offensively and missed some key rotations on the defensive side that allowed the game to get close down the stretch. We did get some great late-game experience in the process though and held on for the win."
