After having won the previous nine games, the International Falls boys basketball team saw that winning streak come to an end Tuesday night with a 46-36 road loss against Crosby-Ironton.
The Broncos, who trailed 17-12 at halftime, ended up making only 15 of 51 field goals for the game.
“Both teams had trouble putting the ball in the hoop,” said Falls head coach Derek Dowty. “Our defense kept us in the game.”
The Broncos were led in scoring by Ben Humbert with 15 points. Clay Tomczak added 10 points.
The Falls, which lost for the first time since the 86-56 setback Dec. 23 at Duluth Denfeld, dropped to 15-5 going into Saturday afternoon's home game against Moose Lake/Willow River.
