RUMFORD — The Lisbon High School boys basketball team stayed with Mountain Valley for most of the first half. But, the Falcons found their stroke, pulling away in the second half for a 55-36 Mountain Valley Conference victory.

The Greyhounds trailed 10-7 after a quarter and were still in it, trailing 20-19, before Mountain Valley found its stroke from 3-point range.

“Mountain Valley lives and dies with 3-pointers, and they got hot near the end of the first half and it continued into the second half,” said Lisbon (1-13) coach Eric Hall, whose Greyhounds will play their third game in three nights tonight at St. Dom’s (7 p.m.).

The Falcons led 29-21 at the half and outscored Lisbon 14-7 in the third for a 43-28 lead.
