GARRISON, Tx -- The Timpson Bears forced 28 turnovers Friday night and put themselves in prime position to solidify the third and final playoff spot in District 22-1A D-I. But what the Bears couldn't overcome in their own inability to hit free throws - Timpson connected on only 7-of-25 (28%) - and the Bulldogs work on the boards as Garrison cashed in a 41-34 win before a near-capacity crowd here in Bulldog Gymnasium.
