Bryson boys beat Prairie Valley

Anytime you can have a poor night shooting and still pull out a convincing win is a good night.

Bryson’s boys shot just 30% (12-of-40) in the first half and managed to have a 31-9 lead at halftime. The big lead helped as visiting Prairie Valley caught a hot hand in the second half to make things interesting. The Cowboys pulled away late, however, in a 68-39 victory.

Bryson coach Mark McCorkle was willing to take the win but not without reservations.
