Because of the blizzard, Bedford school basketball teams ended up with five home games in one day – Basketballapalooza!!!

Boys JGMS team started the day off with a convincing win over Lincoln Middle 54-29.
Bedford freshman team followed that up with a win over Austin Prep.
Girls JGMS team continued the winning over Lincoln Middle to cap off a 3 for 3 in non-varsity play.
Girls Varsity called up some JV players who made the most of their playing time in a win over Atlantic Charter 70 – 9.

Mel Proulx scored 12 points on the night. Referees wore pink whistles for the annual Officials vs. Cancer fundraiser

Nicole Bianco had her best night of the season scoring 12 points in the 2nd quarter, and 18 total on the night

But in the end, the game that everyone was waiting for was the Boys Varsity game where Bedford defeated Weston 64 – 51.

Last year, these two rivals went head to head three times with Bedford winning the third game during the Division North playoffs. Bedford Boys Varsity came off a three-game road trip where they dropped every game. All the teammate are healthy now and ready for a playoff push.
