The Topper Boys Basketball hosted the Moriarty Pintos in Griffith Gym Friday night in a conference game. The Toppers struggle in the first half as the Pintos ran up the score but as the Toppers took to the court for the second half, they found their groove and overtook the Pintos as the score went back and forth for the entire second half. In the closing minutes of the game the Pintos hit a couple of critical scores and pulled ahead to win the game 49-45. Ben Brusseau powers past Ray Schmutz on his way the basket for a layup.
