Bardstown nearly blew a 15-point lead as Bethlehem clawed all the way back to pull within two with 13 seconds left, but a clutch free throw and a key steal in the final 10 seconds helped the Tigers seal the deal and stay undefeated in 19th District play.

 

Bardstown's Cody Ramos had 22 points and Bethlehem's Brandon Ray also had 22.

Thanks for posting. I am keeping up with this Bardstown team this year.

PG Anthony Myrks has been banged-up with an ankle injury he suffered last week.

 

Bethlehem, off to a good start this season in Artie Braden's second year, has been very impressive. Especially last night, as they lost PG Jalen Phillips to a broken wrist in the finals of the LaRue Co. tourney (he'll be out four a couple more weeks) right as they were to be getting back SG Jordan Cooper from knee surgery for a football injury. That they played B'town this tough without their point guard and with their best player nowhere near 100 percent yet is very eye-opening. Don't sleep on the Eagles in the 5th.
