The Cardinal boys' basketball team traveled to Brainerd and came up just short in a 54-47 loss against the Warriors last Thursday night.

The Warriors came out in the second and continued to pressure Alexandria with a 1-3-1 press. The Cardinals struggled to break down the defense with much consistency as they dropped to .500 with the loss.
The Cardinals fell to 7-7 overall and 4-7 in Central Lakes Conference play.
