BARTLETT – The St. Charles North boys basketball team was poised for a big road win against Bartlett during Upstate Eight Conference crossover action Tuesday, leading by six points at the half.

But the North Stars lost their way offensively in a defensive struggle in the second half, scoring only three third-quarter points and nine in the fourth en route to a 46-38 loss.

“Shot selection was poor [in the second half],” said North coach Tom Poulin. “We didn’t get many open looks. They defended well. We didn’t execute really well.
