After a couple of tough road game over the past few weekends, the Hornets came home looking for their first win of the season. They hosted a River City Panther squad also looking for their first win.
Bowling Green jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter, but the Panthers closed out the first with a 14 point run to make it a 1 point game 31-30. They continued to carry the momentum to start the second quarter, gaining a double digit lead, but the Hornets fought back to trail by 2 at the half 66-68. In the second half, it continued to be a back and forth game, until Daquon Brown came in for BG and scored eight points at the end of the period, giving the Hornets a 104-98 lead. Then BG turned on the jets, scoring 47 points in the fourth quarter, and getting the victory 151-129! Kalen Kimberland led the Hornets with 29 points. Three Hornets scored over 20, with 4 more reaching double figures.
The Hornets get a break for a few weeks, but will take to the road on April 5th, taking on the Middle Tennessee Storm for a third time. Can the Hornets find a victory in Music City? Be sure to join us on BGHornets.com to find out!
