The Braham girls basketball team saw a fine season come to a bitter end in the Section 5A title contest.
The Bombers claimed the East Subsection title in a 90-62 romp over Great River Conference rival Ogilvie on Wednesday, March 6, before losing 67-63 to Walker-Hackensack-Akeley in the section championship, which was played at St. Cloud State’s Hallenbeck Hall two nights later.
