Fairfax Hoops Squads Finish Strong

This has not been the type of season that fans of the boys basketball program have grown accustomed to. Instead of dominating the opposition as they have in years past, the Lions have played to its level.

Under head coach the team has struggled with consistency all year and that is reflected in the Lions' record: 15 wins, 10 losses and a 7-5 mark in the Western League. Still, Fairfax ended the regular season on a high Wednesday, trouncing Hamilton 68-36.

Now the question is where Fairfax will be seeded in the City Section playoffs. A committee meets Saturday morning to determine the brackets in each division.

Fairfax has won or shared the last four league titles and figures to get a high seed in the playoffs. This year's team is paced by forwards (12.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per game) and (9.9 points, 6.5 rebounds).
