The Bears began by taking an 8-6 lead at the end of one, and pulled to a 21-12 advantage at the half. By the end of three, Bradley led 32-30 as the Jays fought back, but had nothing left for the final stanza as they only scored five points.

Casey Curtis paced the Jays with 10 points, as the only member of the squad to reach double figures.

Cawaski Stewart led all scorers with 15 in the game.

The Bears spend more time at the charity stripe, where they were five of 15.

JUNIOR BOYS

The Nevada junior boys were the lone home team to post a win, beating the Cubs 46-35.

The Jays opened with an 8-5 lead at the end of one and held a 22-10 advantage at the half. At the end of the third period, the Jays lead had been narrowed to 32-17 before the Cubs outscored Nevada 18-14 in the final quarter.

Greg Davis dominated scoring with 24 for Bradley.
