Dadeville squeezes past BRHS in girls game

Ryne Gallacher / For The Outlook Benjamin Russell’s Brook Bowden (3) attempts a 3-pointer.

The Benjamin Russell girls basketball team lost in a close heartbreaker to the Dadeville Tigers, 43-40 Friday night.

The game was a close affair from start to finish with Dadeville never gaining more than a five-point lead throughout. The first quarter started off slow, like two boxers feeling each other out, which led to a low scoring first quarter with a lot of perimeter shots and misses.
