Dryden: A furious fourth-quarter rally fell just short as the Cardinals dropped a 68-66 decision to Byron in a Genesee Area Conference-Blue game Tuesday at Byron. Dryden trailed, 24-12, after one quarter and was still double digits behind, 42-31, at halftime, and 56-44 after three quarters. A 22-12 rally in the final eight minutes nearly pulled it out. Eight Cardinals got in the scoring column, led by Tony Gjonai with 19 points, Andrew Quni with 16 and Sean Murphy with 11. — D.N.

FAITH Homeschool: The Falcons’ perfect mark on the season has one blemish after SUMMITT ruined the win-streak with a 62-56 win last Friday.

Imlay City: The Lady Spartans downed the heavily favored Capac Chiefs in overtime on Tuesday, 41-37.

Imlay City opened the game on a 10-4 run, and held the lead heading into the half, 21-10. A second half of ups and downs for both squads led to an overtime clash for the ages. The Lady Spartans found a way to get it done in the clutch, and went nine-for-nine from the charity stripe during the final minutes of regulation and into overtime.

Morgan Lee tossed in a team-high 12 points. Nicole Rahn scored seven points while delivering four assists, and Jacklyn Van Dyk played a solid all-around game with eight points, six rebounds, four steals and three assists.
