The Cavaliers, who play in Class A, dropped to 6-8.
Freeman led 14-10 after the first quarter but outscored Bon Homme 25-7 in the second period to pull away.

FHS girls 48, Bon Homme 52
The Freeman Public girls allowed just 17 points in the second half but still came up short against Bon Homme in Freeman Saturday afternoon, largely because of the Cavaliers’ strong first quarter.
Bon Homme led 23-17 after the first eight minutes and 33-25 at the half before a Flyers’ defensive adjustment brought them back into the game; it was a one-possession with less than a minute to play, but the Cavaliers hung on for a 52-48 win.
Bon Homme improved to 9-4 while Freeman dropped to 12-3.
The Flyers got 11 points from senior Cami Fransen and 10 points and four steals from freshman Rylee Peters. Sophomore Vaida Ammann had three assists and four steals.
Freeman plays Gregory (1-11) at the Corn Palace Monday, Feb. 5 and Hanson (12-3) on Tuesday.
