Robert Brewer/MDN Bishop Ryan’s Brady Feller (3) swoops to the hoop for two of his 11 points in the Lions’ 67-30 win over Glenburn on Tuesday evening.

On Tuesday night, the Bishop Ryan Lions boys basketball team earned its fifth consecutive win in convincing fashion as they took care of the visiting Glenburn Panthers 67-30.

In the first period, Bishop Ryan utilized a consistent offensive attack combined with tough physical interior defense to build an initial lead. At the 4:41 mark, the Lions enjoyed a 12-7 advantage. Later in the quarter, the Lions led 16-12 before a breakaway dunk from junior forward Ian Johnson extended Bishop Ryan’s lead to six at 18-12.

The Lions took command in the second by not allowing a Glenburn basket for the first 3:35 of the quarter. By the time the Panthers finally got in the scoring column, Bishop Ryan had amassed a 27-14 lead.

Bishop Ryan’s offense received a big boost with under two minutes to go before the break. After the Lions split a pair of free throws, Johnson drilled a three-pointer from the wing to give Bishop Ryan a 33-15 advantage.

By the end of two quarters, the Lions were firmly ahead 37-15. After the third quarter, the Bishop Ryan lead ballooned to 56-20 as the Lions cruised to a 67-30 victory. Johnson led all players with 15 points while Josh Will and Brady Feller also reached double figure scoring totals with 13 and 11 respectively. For Glenburn, Devin Heinz recorded a team-high seven points in defeat.

Next up on the calendar, the Lions plan to travel to South Prairie on Friday while Glenburn will host Lewis & Clark-Berthold on Friday.
