In the second game, Centerville went down without a fight, as Tyler Adams and Bobby Dorman led the Bison to a 43-9 victory.

In the Championship Game, the Bison got off to a slow start and trailed after the first quarter, but came from behind to

beat New Waverly in another solid win, 52-29.

EIGHTH GRADE

The Eighth Grade Bison team, undefeated in regular season district play, suffered a disappointing loss in the District Tournament and took second place to New Waverly.

Game One pitted BJHS against Corrigan, and the Bison won handily, 51-13, led by Travis Cunningham (13 points) and Dalton Helmcamp (12 points -- all on 3-pointers).

Game Two against the Centerville Tigers was another story. The two teams are well-matched and the lead changed hands throughout the game, but Buffalo was on top at the final buzzer, 31-30.

Just a short time later, however, the Bison had to face New Waverly. That game was hard-fought, but the Bison fell behind at halftime (16-26) and were never able to make up the deficit. The final was 42-37, New Waverly, with Cunningham leading all scorers with 15 points and Cain Hayes contributing 12.

The 8th grade team members are: Travis Cunningham, Trent Little, Ty Tollett, Cain Hayes, Jose Dominguez, Ivan Rivas, Dakota Lewis, Jesus Lopez, Mario Cortez, Jose Nava, Dominic Jackson and Travis Cunningham
