Bobcats extend streak to 8 with road win 79-61

SEVASTOPOL, Wis. — The Florence boys varsity basketball team extended its current winning streak to eight games with a 79-61 nonconference victory over host Sevastopol on Saturday.

The Bobcats (15-1) won their first seven games to open the 2022-23 season before suffering their only loss, so far, to Reedsville 66-47 on Dec. 27.

Florence built a 42-26 lead by halftime and again outscored Sevastopol 37-35 in the second half.

“It’d been a long week for this team and we finished strong,” said Bobcat coach Bryan Bomberg. “Making the trip to Door County on a Saturday morning was a bit of a grind but a good thing for us.

“Credit them for making a lot of 3s and getting us out of sync a bit,” he added. “But we made some adjustments and responded a bit. I wasn’t overly pleased with our defensive pressure but happy with the win.”

William Kelley led a quartet of Bobcats in double figures with a game-high 25 points. Evan Johnson added 17 points in the win, while Dominic DeMuri and Logan Schuls chipped in 16 and 14 points, respectively, against Sevastopol (2-14).

Also contributing for Florence were Trent McLain with three points and Blake Smith with one point.
