The Denis Morris Reds fell just short dropping a 47-45 decision to the St. Paul Patriots in Niagara Catholic Athletic Association senior boys basketball action.

The Reds trailed 14-12 after one quarter and the teams were tied at 22-22 heading into the half time break. The Patriots led 37-32 heading into the final frame where the Reds rally fell just short.
“We went cold in the third and just couldn’t recover,” Conlon added.

The Reds were led by Zubeer Liban with 17. Michael Conlon tossed in 14 and Noah Honsberger added 10.
