BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge-Guilford boys varsity basketball team picked up a much needed win on the season when they hosted Unatego this past Thursday, only to dominate the scoring for a solid 61-45 win.

The home game played on Jan. 12, featured leading scorer on the day Trevor Halaquist attack the net for an astounding 25 points, going 9-10 from the charity stripe as the Bobcats posted double digit scoring throughout.

Grabbing the early lead in the game was Bainbridge-Guilford who ripped through the Spartans of Unatego in the first period for the 16-5 lead after just one period. Taking that 11 point lead and waisting no time, the Bobcats put up another solid period in the second – scoring 12 points – as they climbed to a 28-17 lead at the half.

Assisting the star scorer on the day – Halaquist – were his teammates Zach Ouimet, Xavier Cherniak and Sean Jones, who scored 12 points, nine points and nine points respectively in the winning effort.

Answering the call, and ensuring a second half collapse was not in the cars, Bainbridge-Guilford rained down the baskets in the second half, grabbing a third period of 16 points; only to answer that with a more dominant closing period of 17 points to ensure the win.

The difference in the game proved to be the opening first period, as B-G was able to adjust early and maintain the momentum, while Unatego failed to get off to a hot start but adjusted well – falling short in their comeback as they grabbed a third period of scoring 16 points, while dropping to a 12 point fourth period.

Up next for Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats (3-6 overall, 2-2 league), they will travel to Gilbertsville-Mt. Upton on Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m.
