NB Girls Fall to Bedford

Northern Bedford’s girls’ basketball squad dropped its second game of the season Jan. 20 in its home opener to Bedford.

The visiting Bisons jumped out to a 22-2 lead in the first quarter and were never challenged in a 55-16 victory.

“They are a very talented and athletic team and we just didn’t handle things well from the outset, especially regarding taking care of the basketball,” NB coach Jon Ewart said.

NB was much more competitive after the first-quarter barrage in which they hurt themselves with numerous turnovers.

Sophomore Emily Heck had 10 points to pace the Lady Panthers, now 0-2 overall.
