The BHHS boys varsity basketball team took the hardwood Tuesday night in their second home game of the season against the Bandon Tigers. The Bruins wasted no time jumping on the Tigers putting on a full court press and frustrating the Tigers early in this pre-season match-up.
Senior forward Brig Schofield #32 started the first quarter off with the hot hand knocking down three shots, two of the 3’s for 8 of the Bruins 19 points in the first quarter. The Bruins kept the Tigers off balance with the aggressive defense not allowing the Tigers to cross the timeline without a fight on practically every possession. The Bruins held Bandon to just 6 points in the first quarter while the Bruins had six players on the board putting up 19 points in the first quarter.
The Bruins continued to move the ball around and again had four different scorers in the second period. As the Tigers settled into the game, they too had four different scorers in the books, hitting two 3 pointers and scoring 10 points in the quarter. The Bruins would put up 11 points in the period with junior guard Evan Fronckowiak #12 hitting for 4 points and sending the Bruins into the halftime break 30-16.
The start of the third period had the Bruins again pressed the Tigers in their own half of the court making it difficult for Bandon to create any continuity on offense as they struggled to maintain possession. Junior center Jason Vanginderen #10 led Bruin scorers in the third period with hard work under the hoop at both ends of the floor and then scoring 6 points in the paint.
The fourth period again had the Bruins getting multiple shooters in the scorebook as five shooters added 18 points to the Bruins total 74 points on the night. Junior guard Evan Fronckowiak #12 led all scoring with 17 points followed by senior forward Brig Schofield #32 who hit four 3 pointers on his way to 14 points as the Bruins took the 74-40 win.
Head Coach Buell Gonzales told the Compass that he is “Trying to create some team chemistry while working on getting better at team, and individual offensive and defensive play. Do simple Better!”
The boys will be on the road next week at Hidden Valley High School participating in a series of games at the Evergreen Tournament.
