Bellevue, currently the hottest team in the NWAC, rising from 10th to 5th in the NWAC Coaches&#8217; Poll, did not disappoint the home crowd with the 84-69 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down 35-34 at halftime, the &#8216;dogs stepped up the offense in the second half, outscoring the Red Devils 50-34. Shawn Etheridge gave BC the lead early on in the second half with a layup which was followed up with a pair of free throws from Sawyer Cottrell, giving Bellevue a three point advantage 38-35. From there on, Bellevue held the lead, making key baskets to fend off any potential Lower Columbia threat for the remaining 18 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cottrell&#8217;s layup with 3:40 remaining put Bellevue up by nine, 67-58 which was Lower Columbia&#8217;s last chance for a comeback as the Bulldogs extended the lead to double digits before cruising on for the easy win. Although the &#8216;dogs were cold from the free throw line shooting 60%, the Red Devils could not capitalize shooting a dismal 56% from the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cottrell had 19 points and eight rebounds to lead the way while Josiah Johnson continued to be a threat off the bench with 14 points and seven rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellevue will travel to Tacoma this Fri. Jan 2 for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff before hosting Wenatchee Valley on Sat. Jan. 3 at 4 p.m. in the final pre-season non-league game before conference play begins next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BC Athletics.
