The Hive guys, 3 going into the fracas, were definite underdogs. But for the second time in a week, they pulled the surprise rug from under their favored opponent. Weber was the unfortunate adversary on Tuesday. The outcome left both the Bees and the Bobcats with identical 3 marks and propelled the local courtiers right back into contention in this northern Utah prep league.
