BUHS swamped by the Serpents

BUHS opens the Christmas Classic vs Mineral County

By Arnie Palu

Bishop Union opened their 38th Annual Christmas Classic with a disappointing 53-47 loss.  Mineral County High school from Hawthorne Nevada used an amazing 19-point 4th quarter from Junior Andre Davis to complete their comeback victory.  Bishop Union held a 34-31 lead heading into the final quarter, but MCHS roared back thanks to Davis’s 19-point effort that included four, 3-point baskets and 5 of 6 shots from the free throw line.  Freshman Robert McFalls joined Davis with 19 points, including a clutch, 4th quarter 3-point play.  Bishop was led by sophomore Mike Molina with 13 points.  Dru Allen chipped in with 12 points, all from behind the 3-point arc.
