The Galilee squad grabbed a 23-19 lead after ten minutes but Lior Lubin’s team came back to take a 55-47 lead at halftime and never looked back in the win.

Gutt starred for the hosts with 26 points and 12 rebounds, Bartley added 24 points and Garrett chipped in with 21 points and 7 assists. For the visitors, Nimrod Levi led the way with 22 points, Chavaughn Lewis scored 17 points and Ike Iroegbu added 16 points in the defeat.

“We played really well defensively which allowed us to get stops and run,” Frank Bartley said. “We did a good job of controlling the tempo on both sides of the ball. Golan (Gutt) made some big shots for us today. When he gets going, it takes our team to the next level. I’m super happy for him and we need him to keep playing with that confidence!”
