ARGYLE - Argyle boys basketball coach Travis Erickson had seen this script before.The Orioles were in a familiar position Monday - leading late but needing to hold on against Belmont. Senior Andy Bohlman's 3-pointer from the winter had given Argyle a 34-26 lead with 5 minutes, 9 seconds left.But so far this season, the Orioles have struggled to hang on to leads and make plays at crunch time.
