Starfires lose another tight game (02/25/04)
Local Roundup
The South Adams boys basketball team was close again. But it lost again.
The Starfires dropped their nine straight game Tuesday, losing 47-44 to the Winchester Golden Falcons.
South Adams (3-14) was ahead by one at the end of each of the first three quarters, but could not hold on in the fourth. The Goldens took a 15-11 scoring advantage in the final period to swipe the victory.
Justin Caffee scored 12 points to lead the Starfires, who were battered by poor foul shooting. Caffee was 6-of-7 from the line, while Kyle Neuenschwander finished 2-of-7 and Corey LeMaster hit just 1-of-7 as the team finished 10-of-29.
Neuenschwander had eight points and seven rebounds. Josh Sprunger scored eight points, and LeMaster had five rebounds.
