Broncos stomp MC Serpents

December 5, 2012

After a non-start to their basketball season, the Bishop Broncos are off and running with wins over Mineral County on the road Tuesday.

The Lady Broncos are now 1-1, following a loss to the Div. 3A Burroughs Burros and a 51-35 win against the Serpents.
The Broncos beat the Serpents 49-42, a solid win for a young team.

Golden Eagles start season with a bang

November 21, 2012

If you’re Lone Pine High and coming into the basketball season off an OK previous year, and you’re facing Kern Valley Broncs – a bigger school, more competitive league, better record – realistically, you just hope for a decent showing.
The Golden Eagles did that Tuesday night, and then some.
The boys team came within 4 points of a win, at 59-63. Charging back from a weak third quarter, Eagles starters Michael Cappello and Brad Greene fouled out with four minutes on the game clock. Lone Pine held on but had lost its edge under the net.

Lady Eagles lose, 23-37

Bishop competes at CIF championships

November 21, 2012

Together the girls were able to collect a total of 12 games. “The competition is very tough when at this level,” said coach Patty Cummings. “There have been times when we have not won any games so I was extremely impressed with how determined these four girls were this year.”
The doubles team of Katie Tanksley and Tessa Wright lost in two sets – 3-6, 0-6 – against the number one doubles team from Yucca Valley

Lady Broncos face Burros

November 21, 2012

Bishop’s Lady Broncos basketball team kicked off its 2012-13 season on the road against the tough Division 3A Burroughs Burros of Ridgecrest.
The Broncos lost 41-51but started strong in the first quarter. Tamia Shoshone, Brooke Callahan and Shiloh Smith led the scoring effort.
Katelyn Lent dropped in 7 points in the second quarter with Callahan and Smith contributing 2 each. The Broncos defense was worn down by the more than ample subs from the Burroughs bench.
Although the Broncos out-scored the Burros in the second half, they were just out-manned by the home team bench.
