Great to see the two local teams in the finals of the Lion's Club Tournament. I don't see this as much of a game though. Actually, does anyone know the last time BND beat BHS? I know they won '95 or '96 during the Mark Waddams & Dave Pero era, but I don't think there has been an ND team that could hang with a Brasky coached team...As a matter of fact, the last time BND won a State basketball title, BHS beat them in the Lion's Club Tournament that season. Good luck to both teams.
