The BHS boys basketball team defeated Nathan Hale High School 63 - 56 for their season opener.

"[We were] up 9 at the half and led by as much as 18 in the second half," said coach William Rodgers. "Overall, I was pleased with our first game. Our offense played pretty well and the kids played as a team. I thought it was a little sloppy and we need to take better care of the ball on offense. We will work on our defense this week…need to keep improving."

Salim Gloyd lead the scoring with 31 points, Seth Berger scored 21.

Next up is Tuesday's game against Eastlake.

"They are 2-0 and are a pretty good basketball team. Last year they went to the AAAA State Tournament. Should be a good test," said Rodgers.
