(New Buffalo, MI) - The New Buffalo High School boys’ basketball team could be peaking at just the right time during what’s been a solid regular season.

The Bison (9-2) defeated Bridgman on the road Saturday 55 to 47 after losing to the Bees by 12-points at home in late February.

Junior guard Kayden Parmley said it was the first victory against Bridgman for all of the Bison players dating back to when they were in middle school.

“It definitely feels good,” he said.

Head Coach Nate Tripp said the performance against a solid opponent from a larger school is a good measuring stick for what the team is capable of doing in the upcoming District 4 tournament.

The tournament to be held at River Valley High School begins on March 23. 

“Eye on the prize but we got a lot of work to do between now and the end of the season,” he said.
