Listen to the final play that lifted WEM over BP in boys basketball

The Cardinals knew that even though Southland only had 6 wins on the season coming into the playoff game Thursday night at Van Orsow Auditorium, that it was not going to be an easy game.

Thursday night the Bethlehem Academy Cardinal boys basketball team managed to come back against the tough Goodhue Wildcats. Friday night as they were down against the Buccaneers, they tried really hard but could not get ahead this time.

B.A. was without starters, Jack Clark and Alex Bongers. So others had to step up and play more and longer during the game.

There were a few tears and lots of hugs today after the Goodhue Wildcats won the State Class A third-place game 51-47 over Springfield.
