The Burnet High School boys basketball team defeated Marble Falls 43-38 Jan. 2 in the District 24-4A opener.
It was a big road win for the Bulldogs (14-8, 1-0), who seized control of the contest in the third period.
Trailing 20-18 at the half, the Bulldogs came out firing, leaning heavily on senior shooter guard J.J. Whigham, who made a living popping 3-pointers from the right side of the court. He hit two in the third quarter, none bigger than the one that gave the Bulldogs the lead for good at 24-22.
