Blissfield men’s basketball team opens with a win over Whiteford

The Blissfield men’s basketball team, for the first time under the direction of Coach Ron Estes, long-time Blissfield football coach, beat the Whiteford Bobcats 61-48 in season-opening action Tuesday, Dec. 9 on home floor.

A slow pace in the fourth quarter and pressure from the visiting Bobcats helped lessen the margin of difference.
