FALL RIVER: The Georges P. Vanier Vipers boys basketball team gave it a valiant effort but fell short in their semi-final game against Leslie Thomas School.
At the Fall River-based school, the Vipers and Lions played exciting end to basketball with very little time to catch one’s breathe to a full crowd.
The crowd helped create more excitement cheering every basket and stop or near baskets.
GPV had several chances during the game, but it seemed the ball just wasn’t falling in their favour.
In the end the Lions picked up the 49-37 win over GPV.
