A season that included 20 victories, an undefeated run through the second half of Pacific League play and a share of the program’s first league title since 2004 ended for the Crescenta Valley High boys’ basketball team Friday evening. The underdog Falcons were just too undersized versus Trinity League-power Orange Lutheran in falling in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division I-AA playoffs, 59-49.
