Pierce 71 – Willows 41 (1/10)
In their only game last week, the Bears proved to be ungracious hosts as they put a shellacking on the visiting Honkers.
All nine players broke into the scoring column for Pierce, led by Gavin Guynn with 14 points, JR Figueroa with 11 points and Devin Garcia, who dropped in 10 points.
However, Figueroa did more than score for the Bears as he handed out nine assists, made nine steals and corralled six rebounds.
Calvin Bair had a nice effort as well finishing with nine points and nine boards.
Things got tougher for Pierce (8-10, 1-1) this week as they were in Paradise on Tuesday, before heading to Colusa to face its county rival tonight.
