Beatty boys basketball holds on to win a close one in Tonopah last Friday night 51-42. Hornets coach Steve Sullivan said that his boys came close to throwing the game away.

Sullivan wants his team to improve in this area. He also said that the team needs to improve in its shooting percentage too.
“We can’t win games turning over the ball and shooting in the 30-40 percent range,” Sullivan said.
