The Berry Boys fell to the Wolves,
59-47, in the first round of the
District 9 AA playoffs. Coleman
Willison's blocked shot (left) was
representative of the problems
Cranberry faced as they battled the

Berries were down 33-18, and they
continued to trail by double digits
throughout the second half.
