Warriors boys’ basketball team faced off against the Oceanside Pirates. They defeated the Pirates in an exciting league game by the score of Fallbrook 49, Oceanside 45. Overall, the fast-paced game was filled with enthusiastic fans and many three point shots by Marcus Breshnahan.

The game began with Fallbrook in control as Nolan Robinson was all over the court and scored seven points to get the first lead of the night.
