Bethel moved to 2-1 while the Golden Eagles fell to 1-2.

Coach Chris Nelson was pleased with the win. "We had to work for tonight's victory against a quality opponent in John Brown. For the most part I thought we guarded well but we have to finish possessions and finish on both ends. We have the pieces, but we must continue to grow and mature. As we get closer to league play, we have to improve on the glass and execution on the offensive end."

Bethel will close out the classic Saturday against Brescia at 1 p.m. Campbellsville and John Brown will play at 11 a.m.

Tickets will be available at the door and be handled by the Chamber of Commerce staff.

It is suggested fans wear a mask and practice social distancing outside their family group. These suggestions are for the safety of each and to assure our student-athletes can complete their seasons in a healthy environment.

Due to Bethel football, there will be no local radio coverage for the games.
