BIDDEFORD — The Biddeford boys basketball team went into Tuesday night’s Class A South showdown looking to continue its hot start, but the Tigers would go cold from the field as visiting Falmouth picked up a 45-32 win.

The win was a big one for the Yachtsmen as it gave longtime head coach Dave Halligan his 500th career victory.

Halligan’s squad would take advantage of the Tigers’ icy start from the field — Biddeford shot just 4-of-30 in the opening half — as Falmouth took a 30-15 lead into the break.

Biddeford would outscore Falmouth 17-15 over the final two quarters but it wouldn’t be enough to erase the early deficit.

The Tigers, who fell to 3-1, were led by Kyle Norton with 11 points and Jerome Criado with eight points.

Sam Manganello led Falmouth (3-1) with 14 points. Alex Marcotte added 10 points, while Niklas Hester had nine points and Jack Bryant chipped in eight.

Kennebunk (3-1) was led by Emily Archibald with 11 rebounds and eight points. Alaina Schatzabel added a team-high nine points in the loss.
