The Bishop Bronco JV basketball used a hot start and jumped out on Rosamond 10-0 closing out the first quarter 10-1. That’s when Bishop went cold shooting, scoring just 2 points in the 2nd quarter and 15 total in the second half. It was enough however to earn the victory 26-24.
It was a defensive battle and a rough shooting performance for the Broncos but it was just enough and they remain undefeated in league with a record of 8-0. Leading the way in scoring for Bishop was Weston Dondero with 6 points. Dondero made 2 key baskets with under 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter to help seal the victory. Richie Talavera also had 6, Emory Dondero added 5, Brady Kalk and Elijah Reynolds each had 4 and Will Kemp rounded out the scoring with 2.
Everyone who entered the game played tough defense and were excellent on the boards. Rosamond’s only 2 losses have come to the Broncos so this victory goes a long way in securing a league championship.
