Ty Greene’s scoring, steals and board work — plus a 21-point, six-steal game from Jaeland Lawson — have led Bearden boys basketball to a 2-0 start.
Winning Hall of Fame games on back-to-back evenings at Johnson County High School, Bearden beat Watauga, N.C., 60-51 Thursday, Nov. 19, then blasted Unaka 68-48 Friday, Nov. 20.
“They both had a really good weekend,” Bulldogs head coach Mark Blevins said of Green, a junior wing, and Lawson, a junior guard. “Our post guys did much better Saturday night, I thought, than Friday.”
