The Bobcats\u2019 Cayden Huff connected with a last-second shot to give Bell County a 54-52 win over the Black Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bobcats lived up to their L4 Security 13th Region Media Network No. 1 ranking, doing just enough to defeat No. 2 ranked Harlan County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a great game from start to finish we came into the game knowing it was gonna be a hard one on the road,\u201d Belo County coach Brad Sizemore said. \u201cOur kids are playing with a lot of confidence right now, playing for each other and learning how to win tough games. It was awesome to see Cayden Huff get the offensive rebound and put it in at the horn to win it. I\u2019m happy for all of our kids on our team. We just need to continue to work and get better heading into the home stretch of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The win improved the Bobcats to 21-4 while wrapping up the 52nd District\u2019s top seed with a 5-1 mark. The loss dropped the Black Bears to 17-7 and 1-2 against district opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
