\u201cSuper proud of our guys I thought we came out of the gate and applied a lot of pressure for court which allowed us to get running,\u201d Bell County coach Brad Sizemore said. \u201cWe had several kids step up on both sides of the ball and did a really good job rebounding as well. Harlan County is a tough place to play. It\u2019s always good when you can get another big district win especial on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Braxton Ferguson turned in a perfect performance, leading Bell County with 27 points while shooting 8-for-8 from the floor, 5-for-5 from two-point range, 3-for-3 from 3, and 8-for-8 at the free-throw line. He also dished out four assists and added two steals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bobcats set the tone immediately, racing out to a 20\u201310 lead after the first quarter and stretching the margin to 40\u201319 at halftime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bell County continued to pour it on in the second half, outscoring Harlan County 27\u201314 in the third quarter to put the game away early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blake Burnett added 16 points and seven rebounds, while Jaxon Thomas scored 11 points, hitting three three-pointers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
