BOWLER — A young and inexperienced Bowler High School boys basketball team was overpowered by a taller and senior-laden Suring squad in a nonconference matchup on Friday.

Bowler answered a 4-0 Suring run to start the game with a 5-0 run, with sophomore Wylee Dodge knocking down the team’s first shot before burying a 3-pointer. After a Suring timeout at the 15:41 mark, the visitors went on a 17-0 run to take control and never let go of the momentum on its way to a 77-43 win.
