Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Bedford to victory, but perhaps none more so than Terrell Pollard, who dropped a double-double with 17 points and 11 boards. Pollard's evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 15 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Kevin Woodgett III, who went 5-for-9 to rack up 17 points along with six assists and five rebounds.
Bedford smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in five consecutive matches.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lorain). They came out on top against Lakewood by a score of 90-80 on Tuesday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Titans.
Bedford is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.4 points over those games. As for Lorain, they pushed their record up to 9-10 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road.
Bedford was able to grind out a solid win over Lorain in their previous matchup back in January, winning 57-49. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bedford since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
