Monday was no holiday for area boys basketball teams. Maloney, Cheshire and Sheehan all suffered losses on the road. 

And these games weren’t close. Average margin: 31 points.

Maloney had a tall order in taking on 7-footer Donovan Clingan and undefeated Bristol Central in a CCC South game. The Spartans fell 74-30.

In the SCC, Sheehan dropped a 66-36 Oronoque Division decision to West Haven. Cheshire, tangling with Masuk of the South-West Conference, lost 55-35.

All you can do is put it in the books and move on. For the record:

Bristol Central 74, Maloney 30: The Rams got out to a 21-8 lead in the first quarter and pushed it to 44-14 by halftime.
