BERNE — South Adams came so close to its second win of the year. But, the Starfire boys basketball team couldn’t hold the lead in the fourth quarter, slipping to a 65-61 defeat against the Leo Lions.
It was the sixth straight victory for the Lions.

The advantage slipped to five points at the end of the third quarter, but disappeared in the fourth. The Lions outscored the Starfires 18-9 in the final period to steal the victory.
Jason Souder carried Leo to the victory with 29 points. Evan Rieke added 10, Joel Bowerman had nine and Justin Hueber scored seven.
