BHS plays in the third place game against Sand Springs on Saturday at 1:45 PM. 

The Bruins fell behind the Stags 22-7 at the end of the first quarter and would never get the game within single-digits from that point on. BHS stalled on offense early - allowing a Miege team stacked with college prospects to build their lead and never look back. 

Both teams stayed in zone defenses for the majority of the contest - which led to a slower pace of play and a hands-off approach by both teams. 

Despite the lack of physicality in the game, Bruin senior Barron Tanner fouled out in the third quarter after a couple questionable calls.
