Memorial sweeps Edison
B Game: After trailing for most of the game, the Mustangs took control late to defeat the visiting Wildcats 40-29. In the third quarter, Memorial turned a six point deficit into a two point lead in the span of about 40 seconds.

Memorial never looked back after that, and Jayden S hit several shots in the 4th to extend the lead.

Mustangs fall at O'Gorman
B Game: After holding slim margins after each of the first three quarters, O'Gorman came back to defeat the Mustangs by one point. Much of the damage in the second half was done at the free throw line where the Knights had a significant advantage, scoring half of their points at the charity stripe. Carter H and Logan Y led the Mustangs in scoring in their first loss of the season.
Coach Hoegh says: "This one was tough to see slip away. They took advantage of us not finishing as well as we usually do, and we had some key players go down to injury or foul trouble. Every loss is an opportunity to get better though, and I expect us to do that."
A Game: Memorial fell in the second game by the score of 44-32. The Mustangs outscored their opponents in the first and fourth quarters, but were undone by a 3rd quarter run by the home team. Coby N did much of his scoring in the first half, while Nate V picked up much of the scoring load in the 4th quarter. The contest was the only one of the season between these two teams, as the first game was cancelled.
Coach Hoegh says: "The Knights did a good job of making free throws to keep us from getting back into it at the end. I was really impressed by Mason M's post defense against a much taller opponent, and Calen B had some really strong takes to the hoop. Austin P and Jackson C played some great team defense today as well. I'm proud of how we hustled for all 24 minutes of the game."
