BUFFALO — The North Collins Eagles fell just short of a comeback victory on Tuesday night, with a 64-59 overtime loss to Global Concepts in a non-league boys basketball contest in Buffalo.

“It was a great game. My kids played hard,” said North Collins coach Jan Warren. “They hustled to the end and they left it all out there.”

“Tyler Robinson was making plays for us all night long,” said Warren.

North Collins was doomed by poor free throw shooting, as the Eagles went 8-for-26 from the line.
