The Salem School boy’s basketball team was edged 25-20 by Yorkville in the Westosha Athletic Conference Championship game on Thursday night. The Falcons came in with a game-plan to play aggressive defense. Salem head coach Cam Frahm said, “We wanted to play a tough defensive game, and I feel we did that today. We just had a little trouble boxing out, and gave Yorkville 2nd chances.”

The Falcons finished their season 11-5, and 2019 champions of the legendary Bristol Shootout.
