The First Assembly Christian School boys basketball team solidified their first place standing in the CCISSA Conference on Tuesday night with a big home win over St. John’s Lutheran School, 46-29.

St. John’s came into the game with only one loss, that being a one point loss to FACS earlier in the season. FACS head coach Joey McKinney had his team ready to face the Falcons. “This was a big win for us, it keeps us undefeated in conference play with a chance to get a #1 seed in the post season tournament in February,” said Coach McKinney. “The first time we played this team we blew an 18 point lead and escaped with a one point win on a last second shot,” he added.
