Batavia gets it done

I love being right.

Last Saturday I said that Batavia has that "little something extra" that really good teams need to have in order to advance in the postseason...and it was on display again tonight in a 74-68 victory over Geneva.

Trailing by seven early in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs were led by two unheralded players down the stretch: Jordan Smith and reserve Stewart Charles.

The two combined to score 14 points in the fourth quarter(!), and Smith netted 21 for the entire game. They two "big men" hit the boards, the floor, and the Vikings hard down the stretch to push them to a victory.
