Bees Win At Buzzer

Kayla Grable hit two free throws in the final two seconds of regulation, giving the Bethel girls’ basketball team a 44-42 victory over National Trail last week.

“We scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to pull the game out,” Bethel coach Mark Mays said. “We were down early and fought back.”

Mays added the Bees were 20-31 from the free throw line.

“The girls are getting better from the foul line, they really stepped up tonight,” he said. “It was a good road win for us, it seems like we have been on the road all season.”

Becky Schweiterman scored 13 for Bethel, while Alaina Hawthorn added 11, Delaney Hardert seven and Grable six.

“We are getting good minutes from everybody, and our bench has also been productive,” Mays said.

Bethel goes to 7-10 with the win, and travels to Twin Valley South tomorrow night for their final road game of the season.

“That record isn’t an indication how we are playing,” Mays said. “We had the same feeling when we beat Bradford earlier in the season at the buzzer, their confidence is back. We took our lumps and are back feeling better about ourselves.”
