The Minford Falcons have taken a liking to their brand new basketball gymnasium.  After playing their first game in the new gym Friday with a thrilling 63-62 victory over Valley, the Falcons came right back Saturday night with an 83-67 triumph over Portsmouth East.

The Falcons produced a balanced scoring attack in coasting to their sixth victory against three losses.

Steve Sturgill and Mike Harrison led East with 13 and 12 points respectively.

The Tartans who dropped to 4-6 with the loss, simply could not match the firepower of the hot-shooting Falcons in the non-league tilt.

East salvaged the reserve game 48-43, led by McCann and Roney with 13 and 12 points respectively.  Steve Brisker had 13 and Swords 11 for Minford.
