WELSH — The Welsh High Greyhounds hosted the Bell City High Bruins Tuesday night in a nondistrict competition. The Hounds would trail behind the Bruins by 14 points at halftime. However, the gym heated up as the Greyhounds made a second half run that brought the game down to one point at the buzzer. Even though the Hounds didn’t leave with the win, they made an impressive push as they closed the gap falling just short with a final score of 67-68 to the Bruins.
