The Bowie Bulldogs lost to the Flowers Jaguars on the road by a 67-53 margin on Thursday. The Bulldogs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Jaguars apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in January of 2024.
Flowers' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Brandon Brooks, who went 12 of 16 en route to 24 points in addition to seven rebounds and six assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Israel Johnson, who went 8 for 16 on his way to 19 points and five steals.
