If Bryan wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Bellevue West, they should've done a better job of containing Robert Garcia. The Bellevue West Thunderbirds claimed a resounding 92-33 victory over the Bryan Bears thanks in part to Garcia, who dropped a double-double on 28 points and 11 boards. The game was his seventh in a row with at least ten points.
Another player making a difference was Bryce Johnson Jr, who went 5 of 7 on his way to 15 points in addition to six assists and five rebounds. He has been hot recently, having also posted two or more steals the last three times he's played.
Bryan's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Deon Darnell, who went 7 for 16 en route to 19 points and five boards, and Kaleb Kimble, who posted nine points and three steals. That was a full 57.6% of Bryan's points, marking the fourth time in a row he's put up more than a third of the team's points. Tesloach Tut also deserves some recognition as he posted his first block of the season.
Bellevue West's record now sits at 8-4. As for Bryan, they are on a 13-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-12.
