NILES — Benton Harbor looked like it might start to pull away entering the third quarter of Monday night's boys basketball game against Brandywine, but the Bobcats put on a furious second-half run to make a close game of it.
The Tigers outlasted a relentless Brandywine run, hitting their foul shots down the stretch and nabbing several key offensive rebounds to eventually come away with a 62-54 road win.
