By BRET GALLACHER BOUNTIFUL The Bountiful Boun-tiful Braves finished a difficult stretch in their region schedule Tuesday night with a second straight upset.

Despite the victories, Bountiful coach Mike Maxwell found little time to celebrate. "Yeah, I would say they (Tooele and Murray) are probably the best teams in the region, but we've really real-ly done nothing," said Maxwell. "What we need to do from this point is go out and win a few games on the road. ' ' The Braves came into the game obviously brimming with confidence. con-fidence. In the first quarter, Bountiful O looked like champions as they outplayed the Spartans on both ends -s of the floor. Senior Dustin O'Brien got off to a fast start, scoring eight quick points to help the Braves to an early 22-9 lead. Between quarters Murray must have realized they were the favored team as they mounted a fierce comeback. com-eback. The Spartans' hot shooting Brian Anderson had six for the 3 quarter, which almost matched the fs Braves' total output of seven. The Spartans trailed at half, 29-24, but momentum had definitely switched.
