In a battle of the two division leaders in the Central Buckeye Conference, Bellefontaine’s boys pulled away in the second half for a 59-43 victory.
The two teams came into the game with 8-0 league records. Bellefontaine is now 14-3 overall and 9-0 in the CBC.
Northwestern drops to 12-4, 8-1.
“Give their crowd credit,” said Bellefontaine head coach Jason Calton. “The atmosphere was alive. It was hard to hear because their student section was so loud. We didn’t get started very well in the first quarter.”
