The Whitefish Bay boys basketball team dropped their second straight game Friday night as they lost on the road at conference rival Grafton, 45-51.
“They (Grafton) came out with an intensity that we didn’t match,” Whitefish Bay head coach Kevin Lazovik said. “They played hard the whole game and they were able to switch defenses and we didn’t respond well to those switches. The shots didn’t fall for us, and we didn’t get to the hustle balls and they did.”
“There aren’t any ‘gimme’s’ in the North Shore Conference.”
