Bellevue College men’s basketball came back in fine fashion with a 74-64 win tonight against Highline at Courter Family Athletic Pavilion. The ‘dogs were resilient both from their last game, a 78-50 drubbing by Lower Columbia, and from the first half of tonight’s game in which BC found themselves down 26-24 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bulldogs exploded for 50 points in the second half. Down by as much as nine, BC charged back and took the lead at 47-46 on a three-ball from Logan Stempniak. The long ball was hot as Jeremiah Hersrud and Josiah Johnson made three-pointers and all of a sudden the Bulldogs were up 53-46, outscoring the T-Birds by 16 points in a five minute span. Hersrud tossed in 10 more points down the stretch to prevent any Highine comeback and to seal the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hersrud ended up with 20 points, with 17 of them coming in the comeback second half on six-for-eight shooting from the field. The sophomore guard was also feisty on defense picking up two steals as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bellevue closes out pre-season this Saturday and are 10-4; an impressive start with a relatively new squad and first-year Head Coach Marcus Fermon. Bellevue travels to Pierce College this Saturday Jan. 6 for a 3 p.m. tipoff. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
