BRIDGMAN — Visiting Brandywine clinched a share of the BCS Athletic Conference Red Division with a 60-24 win over Bridgman Thursday night.
The Bobcats (13-2, 8-0 Red) jumped out to a 32-6 first quarter lead and never looked back.
Brandywine led 52-10 at the half and played the entire second half with a running clock.
The Bobcats were red-hot from beyond the 3-point line as they had 12 on the night compared to just eight 2-point baskets. Brandywine was 12-of-58 from beyond the arc.
