Bishop Broncos JV Basketball Shows Best Defense of the Season with Win Against Desert
The Bishop Bronco JV Basketball team traveled to Edwards Air Force Base Tuesday afternoon to take on the Desert Scorpions. Bishop jumped out ahead of Desert 13-6 in the 1st quarter playing very stringent man to man defense. Devaun Mitchell was all over the place on defense in that quarter stealing the ball three times and finishing on the offense end with layups. Bishop didn’t let up in the 2nd quarter, winning it 9-0 to take a 22-6 lead into the half. That was the best defense the Broncos have played so far this year. Every player on Bishop’s 13 man roster contributed in the game with the final score Bishop 41, Desert 24. Leading the way for the Broncos with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals was Devaun Mitchell. Dom Dondero added 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Derrick Cortez added 6 points and 5 rebounds. Heath Fuller had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Will Kemp had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists. Jakobe Dondero had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Tre Safarik had 2 points and 1 steal. Fidel Jimenez finished with 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
Bishop heads to California City Friday to take on the Ravens.
