A scrappy back-and-forth face off, marked by an early tie and subsequent lead swapping aplenty, came to a close with the Bainbridge High varsity girls basketball team up 36-31 over the visitors from Lakeside.

It was the island squad’s third straight win, and the victory late last week tipped their overall season record into the black: 4-3 (2-2 in conference).

The Spartans’ triumph was a big win in another way too, reportedly being the first time in 14 straight meetings that BHS has bested the Lions, perhaps a sign of the end of a tired trend.

The Review’s Luciano Marano was there to capture the big win. His favorite photos are collected here.
