Down 86-63 against the visitors from Rainier Beach, the Bainbridge High boys varsity basketball team suffered their third consecutive loss at home Friday, Jan. 22.

The combative back-and-forth of the first quarter, in which the Spartans led initially, quickly gave way to a run by Beach at the close of the half.

It was a run which would continue in the third quarter, leaving the Spartans to play catch up for the remainder of the game.
