B Game: Memorial fell to Patrick Henry in a home-and-away series in the last two games of the year. The game at Memorial was a terrific battle that saw huge runs from each team, with Patrick ultimately winning the game by six. The Mustangs were unable to muster as much energy the following day on the road, losing by a wide margin. Following the last game Coach Hoegh said "We hustled very well, but didn't have enough to take a really good team down. I thought that several players, including Tyler K, Sam D, and Connor H played a smart floor game." He added, "We have a group that works hard until the last horn goes off, and that trait will lead to continued improvement in the future. It was a fun group to coach, and hope that they continue to play a lot of basketball."
A Game: In their final meeting with Patrick Henry, the Mustangs lost in a thriller. Memorial used an outstanding 3rd quarter to take a three point lead into the 4th, but a suffocating press and some bad breaks did the scrappy Mustangs in. "We played an awesome game. This team has improved so much. They came to play, and I think we shocked them early. Our team was extremely aggressive in the 3rd quarter, and we were able to get to the free throw line a lot. I guess we didn't have quite enough juice to win the game. I am proud of the way our guys played basketball today, and for the whole season for that matter. I'm a big fan of each one of my players, and I hope that they continue to work hard and compete together."
