Both Cavalier squads were pushed to the limit but held on to wins over the Bears as the Lady Cavs improve to 2-0 in conference play and the Cavalier boys even their mark at 1-1.
Both East Burke teams next play Enka in the opening round of the Freedom Christmas Invitational next Thursday at 4:00 and 5:30 respectively.
- GIRLS: East Burke 40, Bunker Hill 34
The Lady Cavaliers led Bunker Hill 15-8 after one-quarter of play but the visiting Lady Bears looked to gain position for the rest of the contest.
Bunker Hill outscored EB 8-5 in the second quarter for a 20-16 halftime deficit and held a 26-25 lead in the third quarter before EB came back to score six consecutive points to take back the lead into the fourth quarter.
A blow came in the fourth quarter for the Lady Cavs when leading scorer Ashlyn Stilwell fouled out with just three points but freshman Aubree Grigg stepped up scoring six of her eight total points in the last period to preserve the win.
"Losing Ashlyn hurt us as she was our go-to player," said Lady Cavs coach Crystal Bartlett. "Grigg scored some good points for us and a lot of the girls stepped up."
The win gives the Lady Cavs 37 consecutive regular-season conference wins in a streak that could reach four years after a home game with Hibriten to open the new year on January 3rd.
Riley Haas led all EB scorers with 13 points along with recording four rebounds and four steals.
- BOYS: East Burke 54, Bunker Hill 51
East Burke started off with the game's first ten points including Aasin Lor and Cam Propst scoring four each for a 19-6 first-quarter lead over the Bears.
Bunker Hill held advantage the rest of the way winning the second and third quarters 16-11 and 18-13 respectively.
Each squad scored 11 points in the fourth quarter as the Bears were in a position to tie and send the game into overtime but a Bunker Hill pass from under the basket was knocked away as the buzzer sounded.
"It's good to get a win anytime (in this conference)," said Cavaliers coach Jerome Ramsey. "I liked our start and I think we just lost some focus, that's on me just got to communicate better and finish better."
Lor (10 pts) and Micah Chrisco (18 pts, Career-High) each contributed four fourth-quarter points to support the Cavaliers advantage as they each finished in double figures.
Chrisco also added three steals and an assist with Trey Ward (7 pts), Propst (6 pts, steal), and Seth Pruitt (4 rebounds, assist) each playing a role in the Cavaliers victory.
