Since last Thursday the Bearcats have dominated Mansfield, 60-27, beat County Line 48-21 in the opening round of the Pistole on Saturday, and topped Lamar 40-30 on Monday.
The two Conference 3A-4 wins clinched the top seed in the junior high district tournament as the Bearcats are 14-3 overall and a perfect 7-0 in league play with only a game against Subiaco remaining.

He had scored 8 first quarter points and the Bearcats led 13-10 but by halftime it was 35-18 and Brackney had accounted for 21 points.
Another double-digit quarter for the freshman moved him to 32 and the game was well in hand at 52-27.
Brackney added a single point in the final quarter.
On Saturday the Bearcats beat up on the tournament hosts in County Line with a more balanced attack that saw five players register points in the first quarter.
Still, Brackney would lead the way with 15, which included a pair of 3s in the third quarter.
Parker Sing hit a 3 in the final quarter of the win.
On Monday the Bearcats closed out the night with a 10-point win behind 16 points from Edwin Garcia (shown in a game earlier this sason) and 14 from Brackney.
After Lamar took a 9-5 lead through one quarter Garcia hit three 3s and scored 11 second quarter points and the Bearcats were up 23-19.
