Bears one win away from playoff berth
Brownsboro's last game of the regular season was played Tuesday night after press time in Chapel Hill. If the Bears won the game they are in the playoffs. Who and where has yet to be determined if the Bears earn the third seed as there could be a four way tie for first place in 13-3A. It is estimated that the Bears would play on either Monday or Tuesday, February 18-19, in the first round of the playoffs. In order to put themselves in playoff position the Bears defeated Athens 46-38 last Tuesday night in Brownsboro. Brownsboro won the opening tip and Ryan Smith put the Bears on the board first in what would prove to be a low scoring game. The Bears outscored the Hornets 11-5 in the first period as Zach Bailey ended the period with a three pointer as time expired.
Brownsboro's win ended the Hornets playoff hopes. Ryan Smith led all players in scoring with 15 points for the Bears. Tristian Warren scored 10 points for Brownsboro. On Friday the Bears lost a hard fought game to Van 50-45 in Brownsboro. Van took an early first period lead thanks in large part to Jeremie Calhoun. In the second period the Bears fought back to take the lead and led at the half 27-24. Brownsboro was electric from behind the three point line in the second period as they nailed four 3-pointers. Using a 9-0 run in the third period the Bears pulled away from the Vandals by the score of 36-28. Trailing 37-32 entering the fourth period the Vandals rallied after the Bears opening basket of the period. Van used a 14-0 run to retake the lead, a lead they never surrendered. Former Vandal Kyle Price led the Bears in scoring with 13 points as he scored at least two points in every period. Joe Denney (2), Ryan Smith (2), Zach Bailey and Price all hit three pointers for the Bears in the loss. The loss to Van dropped the Bears season record to 14-17 and 4-5 in District 14-3A. Ryan Smith leads the Bears in several offensive categories this season through the Van game. Smith leads the Bears in three pointers made (19), total points (300), assists (114) and points per game (9.7). Junior Tristian Warren leads the Bears with 270 rebounds, 100 offensive and 170 defen- sive. He also leads the team in blocks (35) and steals (68). As a team the Bears have made 69 three pointers this season while scoring a total of 1,527 points.
