OKLAHOMA CITY — After building an early lead, Bethany downed Harding Charter Prep, 73-59, Friday (Dec. 19).

“These games are always scary before breaks because guys are so worried about the break that they forget to show up for the games,” Bethany coach Josh Holliday said via text. “I think our guys did a good job of being where their feet were and focusing on the task at hand. All around great team win and feels good to go into the break on a good note.”
