The boys B-8 Sub-District Tournament started last night at Scottsbluff High School as the McCook Bison downed the Gering Bulldogs 61-43.
McCook controlled things most of the way on Wednesday night leading by three at halftime before stretching it to a nine point lead after three quarters and then pulling away for the 18 point win.
Gering had won at McCook by 18 points nearly two weeks ago.
Freshman Ryland Ray came off the bench for the Bulldogs to lead the team in scoring with 14 points.
