The Matilda Torres Toros boys basketball team jumped out to a 20-point third quarter lead, but ultimately lost the lead, and later, the game, to the Firebaugh Eagles on Monday at home.

The Eagles outscored the Toros 39-23 in the second half to complete the comeback for a 50-47 non-conference victory.

The Toros helped the Eagles with 17 second half turnovers, and committed 26 for the game.
