The Salem boys basketball team came up short in Friday night’s regional championship game, falling to Hidden Valley 51-49.

Nevertheless, the Spartans still have a berth in next week’s state tournament — and we have a
photo gallery of the action, courtesy of the Church of the Holy Spirit Photo Ministry.

Advisory: The photos are mostly from the Hidden Valley side of things, but if there are any Salem fans out there who have photos of the game, we’d love to hear from them.

As always, if you have photos involving teams or players from Salem or western Roanoke County, you can share at news@sosalem.com
