The Blooming Prairie boys basketball team lost to Faribault Bethlehem Academy (4-2 overall, 1-1 Gopher) 59-51 on the road Friday.

BP held a 10-point lead at halftime, but it couldn’t hang on.

“We struggled to make buckets in the second half while at the same time FBA really heated up from the perimeter,” BP head coach Nate Piller said. “We had some pretty good looks, but there’s just a slight lack of confidence on offense where we need someone to really be a go to player.” 

Jake Ressler lead the Awesome Blossoms (3-3 overall, 2-1 Gopher) with 14 points.
