A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner.

The Stallions have not lost to a beach district team since 2013, and that streak continued tonight. If we can take something away from this game is everyone needs to be on notice that these two teams are pushing to make a deep run this year and they will fight until the final second to come up with a
