WESTMINSTER- Energy, pressure and physicality prove to be a winning combination for the BF boys, as they took down Twin Valley 77-28 on Monday night in front of an energetic home crowd. With the win, the Terriers remain undefeated at home and up their record to 10-4.
“Our guys are playing with confidence and we’re starting to see the caliber of team that we can be,” said Assistant Coach Josh Hanson. “The one thing I love most about this team is that they give everything they have every time on the floor, up 30 down 30 or anywhere in between, these young men play hard “Hanson”
After the Wildcats hit an opening three, the Terriers were able to run off 17 straight points to take control of the contest early. Jamison Nystrom scored 6 of his 12 points in the first, Cole Moore added a three and Jake Moore contributed a 3 point play from inside that gave BF a 14 point lead after the first.
The Terriers doubled their lead to 28 at the break in large part due to their newly found 3-point stroke. Three different BF players hit from long range in the quarter including an Eli Allbee corner trey just before the horn sounded off a nifty feed from Caden Haskell.
“Confidence leads to efficient shooting,” said Hanson.
Any hope of a storied comeback for the Wildcats was dashed in the third when the Terriers extended the lead to 40. Jaxon Clark continued his hot hand, scoring 8 in the frame, while freshmen, Blake Bertrand, hit one of his two threes on his way to a career high 6 points in his first season.
In total, the Terriers saw four players reach double digits, led by Colby Dearborn’s 14, Nystrom’s 12, Cole Moore’s 11, while Jake Moore and Clark adding 10 a piece.
