The Austin boys basketball team lost at Cedar Falls, Iowa 71-41 Saturday night.

The Packers (1-1 overall) pulled to within 38-30 right before halftime, but Cedar Falls hit a three at the buzzer and it took over in the second half.

“It was just one of those nights,” Austin head coach Kris Fadness said. “We lost to a really good team. Once they got up, they kept the hammer down.”

Austin sophomore Zach Wessels led the Packers with 16 points.
