The Bainbridge Spartan boys and girls basketball teams hooped through victories over Eastside Catholic in back-to-back nights this week.

Tuesday evening, the boys ousted the Crusaders 46-42, bolstered by the balanced double-figure scoring of Henry Guterson (13), Joe Picha (12) and Schuyler Boone (10.)

The Spartans jumped out to a 17-11 first-quarter lead, and held a 20-15 margin at the halftime break, following a low-scoring second quarter by both teams.

Rounding out the scoring by the blue and gold was senior point guard Kevin Hebner with 9; and Ross Maloney added 2.

The Bainbridge boys will be at Ingraham Tuesday, and play host to the nationally ranked Rainer Beach Vikings next Friday night –

Varsity tip-off is scheduled for 6:15.
