BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats girls basketball team hosted Walton/Downsville for a MAC league matchup on Wednesday evening. Both teams sit comfortably in the middle of the league standings with B-G in fourth and Walton/Downsville in sixth.

Wednesday’s league contest showed an impressive comeback for Walton/Downsville in the third quarter, but B-G had a big run in the final eight minutes, holding their opponent to two points. B-G earned the 54-32 win to improve to 8-4 on the season.

The first seven points of the game were free-throws by both teams, causing some early foul troubles. B-G picked up five team fouls late in the first quarter with trying to guard Walton/Downsville’s Grace Walley too physically.
