The Forestburg High School boys’ basketball team qualified for the University Interscholastic League Conference 1A playoffs on Tuesday with a 73-41 victory over Tioga.
Tioga and Forestburg then flipped for second place in District 1A-21 behind champion Bellevue, with the Longhorns prevailing.
Forestburg will play Milford in the bi-district round at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Joshua High School.
“We played smart defense and we worked the ball around pretty well,” Forestburg head coach Steve Sandusky said.
Sandusky said it was a must-win, and the Longhorns played like it.
Forestburg improved to 17-7 overall, and 10-4 in 1A-21.
Bear Osteen dropped in a team-best 21 points, and J.D. Moore supplied 14.

At Bellevue
Bellevue 87, Slidell 69
Gold-Burg gave Bellevue all it could handle in this game, but the Eagles still topped the Bears by 18 points to garner the District 1A-21 championship.
Bellevue was ahead 50-30 at intermission, but the Eagles had trouble building the lead more than that.
Layne Morris was Bellevue’s leading scorer with 29 points, while Jakob Watkins added 24. Read more recaps, and see box scores, in the Feb. 20 Bowie News.
