The Foothills Falcons basketball teams play exhibition games before playoffs start

Last Friday night, the Foothills Falcons basketball teams hosted several exhibition games.

Before the games took place, Foothills Composite High School held a special presentation where they recognized their grade 12 students.

The Senior boys played first, where the Falcons took on the boys from Ernest Manning.

After building a comfortable lead early on, the Falcons were able to hold off the team from Manning to secure the win.

During the second game, the JV boys Falcons played against the JV team from Manning, where they too picked up a win.

The night's final game was between the Sr Girl Falcons and the team from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (LCI). 

The game was tied at the end of the 4th quarter, which sent the game into overtime.

LCI used that extra time to get ahead of the Falcons and beat them 85-81.

The Falcons will play one last pre-playoff game this Thursday, where they host the teams from Centennial High School.

Tipoff is at 5:30 p.m.
