Colfax boys edge Dragons, finish fourth

Colfax Bulldog boys Tuesday won a showdown basketball game with a talented St. George's club after leading most of the way, but they finished three points short of the prize on the table: a number-three finish in the NE south side league.

Both teams finished the league run at 9-5 Tuesday, but under a formula worked out by the league, Colfax needed to stack a win of nine points or more to claim third place and put the Dragons in fourth place.

Final score in the low scoring battle was 42-37, a five-point edge for Colfax, but four points short of the nine-point gap required.
