The OSCVI Falcons had a cold shooting hand and first-time OFSAA jitters in dropping a 72-60 decision to Timmins Monday in the OFSAA AA senior boys basketball championships.

"We came out a little sluggish and a little nervous, which is what I kind of expected from a first-time OFSAA team," said coach Lee Jacques.

"It just wasn't a very good shooting day for us."

Kevin Bunn had 22 points while Matt Monk chipped in with 14 for the Falcons. Ben Singbeil and Ben Ewasko both had 11 points for OSCVI, which is back in action at 12:30 p.m. today against Windsor's Herman High School.

Fourth-ranked Herman beat Orillia's Patrick Fogerty Monday in their opening game.

A win would put OSCVI into the quarterfinals tonight. A loss would end the tournament for the Falcons.

"(Timmins) is a very good shooting team and a very well coached team and they did some things that gave us some problems all game," said Jacques.

"We got it down to one (point) early in the fourth (quarter) but they would hit a three or a deuce and all of a sudden it was back to eight points again. We had to foul them late to try and extend the game and that's why it ended up as a 12-point loss."
