BRADFORD, PA — Starting their three-game home stretch with a rematch against the Beavers, the Bradford boy’s basketball team were unable to earn redemption, falling to DuBois 61-50 as they fell 0-2 in the season series.
Despite coming away with a slim lead in the first quarter, the Owls then saw DuBois slowly out-pace them over the next three. With help from Trey Wingard’s four 3-pointers in the second quarter, the Beavers snuck out a one-point lead at halftime, before pulling away by seven at the end of the third. From there, DuBois’s lead held strong through the final eight minutes, earning a second win over the Owls.
Marcus Terwilliger led Bradford in scoring with 19 points, also recording four rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Carter Roulo and Tyler Simmons both ended with 10 points in the loss, combining for eight rebounds and four blocks as well.
Bradford returns to action on Wednesday when they take on St. Marys before closing out the week with a Friday game against DuBois Central Catholic. Both games are slated for 7:15 start times.
