The Blooming Prairie boys basketball team lost to Faribault Bethlehem Academy (14-10 overall, 6-5 Gopher) in BP Monday.

BP (10-14 overall, 4-7 Gopher) tied the game up at 45 in the second half, but the Cardinals responded with some big three-pointers to pull away.

“They’re a good team. They’ve competed with the best in our conference. We did some good things tonight,” BP head coach Nate Piller said. “We need to keep building on the good things and squeeze the poor play out of our games.”
