First Round – Monday, December 29

Bethel Bison 56, Bainbridge Spartans 55

The first game of the tournament began with smothering defense from both sides. Bethel had a 16-12 advantage after the first quarter, using some timely offense to gather the lead. Bainbridge battled back in the second quarter to outscore Bethel by two points as Anna Rowe had nine points for the Spartans, but the Bison led 29-27 with Emeri Trahan-Delgado pouring in nine first-half points. Bethel took a 44-39 lead after the third quarter with the help of forcing turnovers and a buzzer-beating basket from Timari Fruster. In the fourth, it was a back-and-forth affair, with Bainbridge gaining the lead late. Bethel hit a three-pointer with Shavon White with 10 seconds left to give the Bison a 56-55 lead and the victory.

Our Sumner Holiday Inn Express Game MVP went to Bethel’s Shavon White, who had 14 points and the game winner for the Bison.
