Lakers defeat Bellaire

Glen Lake boys basketball defeated Bellaire 65-49 behind a dominant offensive and defensive performance in the regional final Thursday, March 7.

The Lakers started on fire and held the lead from the first to the last whistle to capture its first regional title since 2018. Glen Lake started the game with streaky 3-point shooting from senior Cooper Bufalini and junior Michael Houtteman to capture early momentum in the sold-out Bellaire High School to go up 15-5.

“Our momentum kind of picked off and we kind of kept it rolling throughout the first quarter,” Houtteman said. “We’ve been going hard in practice. We’ve been kind of playing smarter. We’ve been doing a lot of shooting drills.”
