Bayfield High School boys basketball seems right at home playing against Bloomfield.

The Wolverines beat the Bobcats for the second time this season, this time claiming a 72-46 victory in their opener at the Rumble in the Jungle Tournament on Thursday in Aztec.

Bayfield (3-2) also topped Bloomfield in a nonconference game just before the holiday break, claiming a 75-55 victory on the road back Dec. 12. The wins over Bloomfield were sandwiched around Tuesday’s 50-47 loss at Montezuma-Cortez.

Statistics and Friday’s opponent and game time weren’t immediately available.

Bayfield ballooned its advantage to 27 points at 57-30 after three quarters before eventually rolling to the 26-point victory.
