Thorsby’s boys basketball team on Thursday won its third game in its last four outings, and the girls kept their special season headed in the right direction.

The Thorsby boys had lost nine of their last 10 before a 73-60 win at Billingsley Jan. 22 propelled them to their current streak.

On Thursday, the Rebels (6-10) beat the Bears again, this time by a 65-54 score.

Eight Bears scored in the game. Seven of them scored in the fourth period, which saw Billingsley outscore their hosts 22-13, but that still wasn’t enough to pull out a win because Thorsby held a 52-32 edge after three periods.

Marcus Bray, Andrew Farris and Evan Bryan did most of the damage for Thorsby. They scored 19, 18 and 15 points, respectively.

Raphael Brooks led Billingsley with 18 points.
