Fridley Boys Basketball Falls in Squeaker

A one-point loss at home to St. Francis.

They don't lose much, and when the Fridley High School boys basketball team loses, they barely lose.  Friday night, it was a one-point loss to St. Francis High School before a home-court crowd. (Dec. 11, it was a two-point loss to Highland Park.)  Were you there? Upload a photo or leave a comment.
