Key defensive plays, clutch free-throw shooting and a difficult bank shot in the waning moments propelled Bear River to a thrilling overtime victory over Box Elder last week, sending the Bears and their fans into the Christmas weekend on a high note.
The Bees, hungry for their first win of the season, came to Garland last Tuesday, Dec. 22 with a lot of energy and were up 21-11 at the end of the first quarter. But the Bears, playing at home before a sparse crowd because of coronavirus restrictions, settled into their game plan and cut the visitorsâ lead to four by halftime.
