After losing 74-52 to Pelham on Feb. 1, the ConVal boys’ basketball team fell to 5-11 on the season.

However, after closing the regular season with a 46-40 win over Souhegan on Feb. 25 and a 57-55 victory over Kennett on Feb. 28, the Cougars secured the 14th and final seed in the state Division II playoffs.
