The Bartow High School Boy’s Basketball team had put in the blood, sweat and tears during the summer and during the regular season. Now with a 22-3 record in the books, it was the district semi-finals Wednesday night against George Jenkins on Jenkins home court. By virtue of earning the number one seed, Bartow had a first round bye.

Before the game, Jacket Head Coach Terrence McGriff once again allowed The Democrat full access to his locker-room.
