AMERICAN FALLS - The American Falls boys' basketball team won its first district game of the season on Friday by defeating Bear Lake 52-50.

The Beavers rallied from an early 15-6 deficit to win the game. Most of that gap was made up in the fourth quarter, when they outscored the Bears 22-11.

"We did a really good job of fighting back," coach Roger Thomas said. "The kids were aggressive in the second quarter and got the win."

Jordan Flores led the Beavers with 15 points. Thomas said he was hot all night shooting the ball.

With the win, American Falls improved to 8-12 overall and 1-5 in district play. It next plays in the 3A Fifth District tournament.
