The BGMR Gators Boys Basketball Team pushed their record to 2-3 with a 61-47 road win over the Clearbrook-Gonvig Bears. The Gators played their best team basketball of the year as they landed 3 individuals in double digit scoring and two others with 8 and 7 points.
The Gator’s first half defense resembled the Grinch Who Stole Christmas as they limited the Bears to 14 points. Using their defense as a jump start the Gators went into halftime with a 29-14 lead. The second half saw the Gators come out a little flat and the Bears cut the Gator lead to seven. BGMR was able to answer and hit some key baskets down the stretch to bring home the win.
Freshman Aaron Dostal had a huge game for the Gators. Dostal scored a career high 20 and pulled down 10 rebounds. Jacob Anderson also had a double double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Senior guard Nathan Hietala broke out of his mini slump and poured in 11. Jacquan Rhen scored 8 and Tanner Creviston 7. The Bears were led by Verdell Beaulieu who netted 14 and the lightening quick Weston Bakke had 12.
The Gators will now shift their attention to their home opener on Friday night. It will be a tall order as an impressive Kittson Central team comes to town. The Bearcats are lead by all conference players Derek Coffield and Zach Rynning and are a team to watch in Section 8A. BGMR will need to take care of the ball better and will have to be at the top of their game in order to come away with a home victory. It will also be the first time this year that Gator Nation will be able to witness their team on its home court. Basketball parents will be serving a soup and sandwich supper before the game. Come on out and let the parents do the cooking and enjoy some great basketball action.
