Bohulano steadied the Crimson Bears in the second quarter, scoring six of the team’s 12 points. After going up 20-12 at half, JDHS kept their foot on the gas to wear out their opponent.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“It seemed to work out better for us to play at a faster pace against them,” Potter said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
The coach lauded each of his seniors for the example they set. Pusich and Bohulano have been the team’s starting backcourt for the past three seasons.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“They’re obviously going to leave big holes, they’re both strong scorers — Caitlin obviously a very strong scorer,” Potter said. “Alyxn has been one of our better defenders for years, so good that other teams had to plan for how good her defense was. It’s going to be tough to replace them but we’re not quite ready to replace them yet.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Hickok was good with leading the younger players, said Potter, while Neyhart took on whatever role was needed by the team.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“Leah helped us out last year when we really didn’t have enough people to practice,” Potter said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
The Crimson Bears finish the regular season 15-9 and 6-2 in the Southeast Conference. They will be the No. 1 seed and receive a first-round bye when the Region V 4A Basketball Tournament tips off next week in Sitka. Thunder Mountain (8-19, 1-7 SEC) will play Ketchikan on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. to start things off.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
“I think we might have a chance this year,” to win the region tournament, Bohulano said. “Hopefully we can pull it off.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
