The Mountain Home High School basketball teams were able to advance to the championship games of the Ultimate Auto Group Basketball Tournament after sweeping Dumas. Matt Sharp has the details.
Listen:
The Bomber boys were able to get past the Bobcats 47-43. The game was back and forth early on, though Mountain Home inched away late in the opening quarter. Dumas kept it competitive due in part to the way they were crashing the offensive boards. The Bombers did go up by double digits in the second half, but the Bobcats made a comeback and tied the game back up. Mountain Home went back on top and was able to hold off Dumas for the four-point win.
Braiden Dewey led the Bombers with 25 points. Raylen Spratt scored 16 points for the Bobcats, and Billy Reddick added 13.
