Zalma at Bell City boys basketball

The Bell City Cubs and Zalma Bulldogs were in unfamiliar territory Tuesday, Jan. 7. The teams who entered the boys basketball game with a combined 3-14 record havenít been involved in a lot of close games, so when things got tight, many of the players on both teams didnít know what to do. The Bulldogs made fewer mistakes and got a big fourth quarter from sophomore Nate Ware for a 73-64 victory at Bell City High School.
