Bandera falls to 3-2 with loss to Southwest Legacy
By Brady Keane
BHS Boys Varsity Head Coach
The Bandera varsity boys team traveled to Class 5A Southwest Legacy Monday night fresh off the Thanksgiving Break and competed well before a flurry of third quarter turnovers allowed the Titans to pull away for a 56-44 victory over the Bulldogs.
Southwest Legacy took a 10-point lead into the halftime break and the Bulldogs made it a single- digit deficit early in the third before the Titans’ pressure caused some issues. Southwest Legacy scored 30 points off turnovers in the game and had 19 points in transition to gain an edge down the stretch.
The Bulldogs were able to cut into the deficit and make things interesting down the stretch, but the Titans ultimately held on and weathered the storm in the fourth. Kayden Brown finished as Bandera’s leading scorer with nine points, four rebounds and two assists while Isaac Segura added eight points and nine rebounds. Scott Perry had eight points, Hank Pate had eight poi nts, Eli Salas had five points, six rebounds and two assists, Cale Barnett had three points and three rebounds, Bryson Holden had two points and two rebounds and Corben Gonzales finished with one point and one assist.
We were intentional about increasing the strength of our schedule this season to put ourselves in a position to be tested and challenged early in the year before we get to district play in mid-December. Southwest Legacy is a solid 5A program, and we competed well outside of a costly stretch of turnovers in the third quarter. Our defense continues to play well, but we have work to do on the offensive end as we get tournament play started this weekend. We are excited for the opportunity for growth with five games in three days!
The Bulldogs will begin play in the first tournament of the young season on Thursday in Hondo. Bandera is set to play at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday, at 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Friday, and in a seeded game on Saturday.
