BRETHREN - The Brethren girls basketball team played their first game in a week and a half, and after shaking off some early rust, they pulled away for a 50-36 victory over Buckley on Monday night.
The game was the first of a 4-game week for the Bobcats, as they have games on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week.
The Bears led 10-8 at the end of the first quarter, after going on an 8-0 run midway through the quarter. Buckley was led offensively by Kayla Milarch with 20 points. Maddie Chilson chipped in with 10 points.
Brethren (5-1) hosts league rival Baldwin on Tuesday evening, while Buckley (4-5) will be back in action on Wednesday night, on the road at Manistee Catholic Central.
