Sawyer Butler was showing some three point skill in the third quarter hitting  three treys keeping the score within 6 points, and with with  1:40 to go in the third Adan Townsend hit a big basket to keep the game in reach.  In the fourth quarter the Beaver Bobcats turned the game around playing tough defense and creating 5 North Catholic turnovers and they had the Trojans calling for time outs, and that worked out well for the Bobcats to take a  break in the final minutes, but what was hurting the Bobcats in the first quarter was what the  last basket of the game was yes another three pointer with 12.1 seconds on the clock.
