Is there an echo in here?
It means Bradley Central has been crazy good basically.
Senior Hannah Jones has never lost a district game in her high school career.

Said Reuter:”History will tell you it will happen. Yeah I hope I’m no the guy calling the shots.”
The streak could have ended Monday night.
Bradley Central was up only four at halftime before beating Cleveland 44-33.
Said Reuter:”We played a team tonight who had a chance to end our streak. It wasn’t a pretty game, but our kids found a way to win. If you remember last year, we won the district tournament. Hannah Jones hit a shot with just a few seconds left. Al Davis. I’m going to steal his smoke. Just win baby. Just win.”
Just win indeed.
The Bearettes have now won 127 consecutive district games.

Said Jones:”Bringing it every day in practice. We’ve been working since this summer. Every single day we’ve been there. Giving it our all for each other.”
Saod Reuter:”Most kids won’t play on a district championship team. We’ve won 13 in-a-row. I’ve just been blessed with a lot of great players. We work really hard. Very proud of our girls. The Bradley tradition. It’s a very proud program.
