From Bob Bowser:

On Monday, November 22nd, Yellow Jackets Basketball hosted the West Salem Warriors in WEAA Conference action.

When it comes to A-team basketball, the Yellow Jackets always want to make it exciting for everyone. This game would prove no different, as it literally came down to the final possession. After one quarter of play, West Salem led 10-7. The second quarter would see a complete reversal and be tied at halftime 17-17. In the third quarter, the Yellow Jackets stayed on fire and led 26-22 going into the final seven minutes of game time. The fourth quarter would be crucial and Brendan Bowser made two, three-point shots in the quarter to bring the Yellow Jackets back from a four point deficit to a two point lead with two minutes to go. A bucket by Elliott Acree would prove to be the final scoring for the Yellow Jackets in the quarter and the difference in the game, as the Yellow Jackets would win 34-32. Scoring for the Yellow Jackets were: Brendan Bowser with 18 points, Brady Porter with 6 points, Kasen Dulgar with 4 points, Elliott Acree with 4 points, and Rhett Andrews with 2 points. The Yellow Jackets are now 3-3 on the season and 2-2 in WEAA Conference play.
