SALAMANCA — For just the second time all season, the Salamanca boys basketball team tasted defeat, falling to Falconer 62-54 at home.

Nathan Bailey scored a game-high 20 points for Falconer, but Roger Markham, who scored 11 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter alone, powered the visitors over the finish line.

Salamanca’s Maddox Isaac scored a team-high 18 points in the loss with Payton Bradley and Jaxon Crouse both having provided 10 in support.
