Bellevue High School freshman Dalton Debose had a spectacular first-ever District 1A-21 performance on Monday.
Debose drained five 3-pointers as part of a team-high 19-point effort, and the Eagles flew away with a 61-33 victory in the district opener for both Bellevue and Saint Jo.
“It was nice to get a big win like this,” said Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard. “Dalton (DeBose) shot the ball really well. Hopefully, he’ll gain some confidence from this.”
The Panthers dropped to 3-9, 0-1 in 1A-21, heading into a Dec. 29 game at Christ Academy in Wichita Falls. Bellevue (6-8, 1-0) will play in the Windthorst Tournament next week.
Saint Jo was able to stay somewhat close with Bellevue in the opening half thanks to Preston Lyons’ dribble penetration.
Lyons wound up tallying a game-high 23 points, including 10-of-12 from the free-throw line and one 3-point make. In all, the Eagles committed 19 fouls, many on Lyons.
Only three players entered the scorebook for Saint Jo while seven different Bellevue players had points. Read more in The Bowie News.

The Nocona Lady Indians beat Saint Jo at home on Saturday morning.
The Lady Indians won 16-1 after four innings due to run-rule against the smaller school.
Nocona was coming off a competitive loss at Collinsville earlier in the week while the Lady Panthers were hoping to compete after a busy week of their athletes doing everything else besides just softball.
The Lady Indians easily won the first matchup between the teams in March, 19-2 and it was more of the same on Saturday.
Saint Jo struck first to start the game off well. Jordyn O’Neal hit a one out single. Krista Reeves followed with a walk after O’Neal had stolen second base and had advanced to third thanks to an error trying to throw her out. A wild pitch then allowed her to score to put the Lady Panthers up 1-0.
The lead did not last long. Nocona’s first two batters drew walks which set up Abby Hill to drive them both in with a single to right field.
Despite giving up a single and a walk later in the inning, Saint Jo’s defense did not allow another run. A line out and groundout to the shortstop while picking off a runner attempting to steal got the Lady Panthers out of the inning unscarred.
The Lady Indians led 2-1.
That was about as competitive as it got. In the second inning, Nocona’s bats got going. Two singles and a hit batter loaded the bases up with no outs.
Reagan Phipps drew a walk that drove in a run. Hill hit another two RBI single. Skye Kirby followed with a two RBI double.
After the first out, Allie Sutton drove in one run with a single. There was a fly out for out two, before a runner came in to score after a passed ball. Finally, an error allowed two more runs to score on the base paths.
Nocona had scored nine runs and led 11-1 to break the game open heading into the third inning.
Taylor Patrick hit a double, with O’Neal and Reeves following with singles. Unfortunately for Saint Jo, Patrick was thrown out before the hits attempting to steal a base so the Lady Panthers scored no runs from this.
The Lady Indians kept pouring on the runs. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases up with no outs. Tinley Cable then hit an RBI single. Shelby Swell was hit by a pitch that drove in another run.
After two strikeouts, Evelyn Marquez drove in two more runs on a double to put Nocona up 15-1, coming up one run short of ending the game early.
The Lady Indians scored that one run in the fourth inning. After Phipps drew a leadoff walk, Hill hit a triple that drove her in to end the game.
Nocona won 16-1.
