Bronson girls crush Concord with 58-33 score
Bronson controlled the first half on both ends of the floor and ran away with a 58-33 win over Concord on Thursday night.
The Lady Vikings scored in double figures in all four quarters while also holding Concord to single-digit scoring in the first three quarters of the game.
“When we play intense on the defensive end, good things happen,” Bronson coach Tony Lasky said. “Everybody wants to get cute and does different things, but if you can get more possessions and a few easy baskets, you’re gonna be successful and I think we’re starting to learn that a little bit more.”
Bronson shot 38.5 percent from the floor in the game, including knocking down just 3-of-14 triples. It didn’t seem to matter as the Vikings were able to take advantage of Concord miscues and inconsistencies.
