Bandon beat Illinois Valley 58-48 in the consolation game at the Brookings-Harbor Rotary Invitational on Saturday.
The game was tied at halftime, but the Tigers found their offense in the second half to pull away.
“We probably didn’t have as much energy as we did against Brookings (on Friday),” Bandon coach Matt Angove said. “We played offensively a lot better in the second half. Defensively, we really put the clamps down on them in the fourth quarter.”
The Tigers also had by far their best free throw shooting night of the season, hitting 16 of 17 foul shots.
“That saved us,” Angove said.

“We held them to five field goals, which I thought was excellent,” said Pacific coach Wayne Everest. “We’ve got to keep that intensity going.”
