GILBERTSVILLE – The Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats boys' basketball team is back for the 2024 season, determined to bounce back from a challenging year. They made an impressive statement in their season opener on Tuesday, earning an 83-33 victory over local non-league opponent GMU.

B-G ignited in the first three quarters with 71 points scored, including 48 in the first half, before slowing things down in the final eight minutes.

After losing key seniors at the end of last season, B-G returned with a mix of experienced players and new faces stepping up on Tuesday night.

Declyn Marshfield took his talents to the basketball court to post 24 points, including 14 in the second quarter and was perfect at the free-throw line, sinking all four foul shots. He was limited in the second half with just two points in the fourth quarter.
