The BV varsity boys basketball team defeated the DeSoto Wildcats 57-47 Friday night.
Fans supported the team by dressing in pirate attire.
The BV starters were juniors Hayden Murray, Steven Stinson, Alex Newell and Paul DeBey Jr. and senior Anthony Abenoja.
The first quarter ended with a 10-10 tie after senior Connor Janes made a three-pointer with less than a minute left.
The Tigers led at the half, up 26-15.
BV came out strong in the second half, leading 43-26 at the end of the third quarter.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, a “cheer-off” occurred between BV cheerleader, junior Sarah Leslie and one of the DeSoto cheerleaders.
This caused chanting and excitement from both team’s fans.
