Bears break hundred-point barrier a second time

BREWSTER – For the second time this season the Brewster Bears varsity basketball team broke 100 points in scoring against a Central Washington 2B league opponent as it pushed its record to 5-0 last Saturday, Jan. 4.
Brewster pumped in 106 points on its home gym against winless Soap Lake to better by three points the 103-27 win at Waterville last Dec. 7.
From the opening tip the outcome was never in doubt as the Bears opened a large lead over the Eagles with 50 points on the scoreboard mid-way through the second quarter. Brewster capitalized on its height advantage on both ends of the court with Connor Ashworth, Kade Kelpman and Kelson Gebbers finding shot opportunities close to the basket.
Brewster suffered its only loss to 1A Seattle Academy of the Emerald City league at a holiday tournament in Yakima’s SunDome last month. The Bears were scheduled to face their toughest opponent, undefeated Lake Roosevelt on the road on Tuesday, Jan. 7. Brewster will host Manson at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, and play at Bridgeport on Saturday, Jan. 11. The Bears will host Waterville-Mansfield at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Lady Bears win
The Brewster varsity girls held down the scoring by the Lady Eagles in a 70-15 win earlier in the evening. The 4-1 Lady Bears trail 4-0 Lake Roosevelt and 5-1 Waterville-Mansfield in the CW2B rankings and were scheduled to play the Lady Raiders on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
