Belgreen’s Will Bonner scores 2,000 career points

While players scoring 1,000 career points seems to happen a few times each year, scoring 2,000 career points is a rare accomplishment. Belgreen’s Will Bonner reached that rarified milestone over the weekend in Mississippi, where the Bulldogs hammered Ingomar 70-37.

While the game was never in doubt, it seemed as if Will and Collin Bonner got together and decided one would shoulder the scoring in the first half of the game, and the other would take the second half.

Belgreen (21-3) jumped out to a 38-11 first lead. Collin Bonner scored 22 of his game-high 30 points in the first half.

Belgreen outscored Ingomar 32-26 in the second half, with Will Bonner scoring 24 of his 29 points.

Adrian Reeves added six points for Belgreen. Cole King finished with three points, and Canaan Stough tacked on two points.

Tharptown outscored the Bulldogs 5-4 in the third quarter to cut Belgreen’s lead to 36-21. The Wildcats cut the Bulldog lead to 11 points early in the fourth quarter, but Will Bonner took over in the post, scoring 14 points in the final period of play. He led Belgreen with 20 points.

Austin James added 13 points, and Collin Bonner scored 12. Alex Jarnigan finished with three points, Cole King two points and Ely Mitchell two points.

Dylan Valdez scored nine points for Tharptown. He was followed by Malachi Minor with six points. Alexis Quezada and Jackson Clement scored five points each. Luis Valdez and Tyler Amos added two points each.

GIRLS

Noelle Willingham had a big game to lead the Belgreen Lady Bulldogs to a win over Vina as well, 58-32.  Willingham led Belgreen with 23 points, going 10-for-11 from the free-throw line, including sinking a perfect six of six in the fourth quarter.

Belgreen jumped out to 16-8 first quarter lead and extended that lead to 28-13 at halftime. Belgreen led Vina 41-20 at the end of the third quarter and outscored the Red Devils 17-12 in the fourth period.
