The Nederland Bulldogs put the clamps on the Port Neches-Groves Indians in the District 21-5A opener Tuesday. After a close first quarter ended 10-8 in favor of the Bulldogs, Nederland ripped off a 28-4 run over the next two quarters, led by the two-way play of senior guard Ethan Borel.
In the second quarter, Borel scored all 10 of his points, including two 3s and a pair of layups. Those scores came from his tenacious on-ball defense that led to two steals.
After the game, Bulldogs Head Coach Brian English said Borel is the team’s best defender — on ball and in help defense.
The Bulldogs are off for five days, but pick up again when they play Grand Oaks next week.
The Athlete of the Week award is sponsored by Energy Country Ford.
