Memorial Battles Edison

A Game: The Mustangs fell victim to a game-winning shot with four seconds left in the first game. It was a well-fought game, and the lead switched hands multiple times throughout. Coby N scored a clutch go-ahead basket on a turnaround jumper off of the glass with 6 seconds left, before Edison completed an over-the-shoulder catch and twisting layup for the game winner. The Mustangs smartly pushed the ball ahead for one last contested shot, but it didn't go. 

Coach Hoegh says: "It was fun to watch our guys compete and play so hard today. Evan and Coby did a great job of defending their most talented player, and we definitely matched the home team's energy. We played our best game of the year so far, and all of the guys contributed to that effort. We just needed one more little play to go our way, and that happens sometimes. Our guys know that, and they can't wait for our next chance."

B Game: The Mustangs pulled off a dominant, wire-to-wire victory in the second game of the night. Memorial used pressure defense to stifle the opposition, causing several turnovers that led to easy baskets. The scoring in the B game was well-balanced, and the Mustangs were able to gain a comfortable rebounding margin over Edison.

Coach Hoegh says: "We've got a really aggressive team that loves being on the court with each other. Harris L and Mason O came out with a ton of energy, and the rest of our guys followed suit. Luke B had a couple of nice J's that opened up things for us inside. This was a nice win."
