Knight boys fall to Martin County West

Published 1:59 pm Saturday, January 23, 2010

Alden-Conger boys’ basketball head coach Bill Hintz said the score in Friday’s 52-45 loss to Martin County West in Sherburn did not indicate the type of game the Knights (6-7) played.

Hintz said the game went back and forth until the waning minutes when Alden-Conger ran out of gas in the end.

The Knights made up a nine-point first half deficit in the second half against the Mavericks (10-4) but in crunch time they couldn’t get it done.
