McMahon Falls Short in FCIAC Playoffs McMahon Falls Short in FCIAC Playoffs McMahon Falls Short in FCIAC Playoffs
McMahon Falls Short in Fciac Playoffs Brien McMahon High School boys basketball coach Mo Tomlin felt his team defense was good enough against Westhill in Saturday's quarterfinals of the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference tournament at Fairfield Ludlowe High School.
