The varsity Bulldogs traveled to LCA and fought hard, cutting a 15 point halftime deficit to six before eventually losing with LCA going on a 10-0 run.
BA's varsity basketball team went on the road to Lexington, MA to take on the LCA Lions in the Bulldogs' EIL and NEPSAC opener under first year head coach Phillip White. Behind senior Noah Daniel's offense and senior Connor Hansen's stout defense, BA hung around in the first half giving LCA all they could handle. Starting the second half down 15, the Bulldogs clawed their way back into the game behind junior Brandon Ventura's scoring around the rim and hustle and N. Daniel's scoring. They cut the lead to six with just over five minutes left in the game but LCA would ramp up their defensive pressure and go on a 10-0 run to seal the outing.
