At Edison Middle School, both Memorial teams played their best games of the year so far.
A Game: The Mustangs prevailed in a nail-biter in the first game, 50-45. Edison had several chances to tie or take the lead in the last minute, but Memorial always made the key stop. The Mustangs iced the game by knocking down their free throws in the end. "The opposing team had some talented, athletic players and I'm proud of how our post players defended and rebounded against them." Coach Hoegh added. "Collectively, we played our best game of the season, and with hard work we'll continue to get better."
B Game: The Memorial B team took an early lead and never looked back, defeating Edison 39-24. The Mustangs were effective in all phases of the game. Coach Hoegh believed that "It all started with hustle. I wondered how our team would react to being on the road for the first time. Sometimes guys are timid in a new environment, but we didn't act that way at all. We were ready to play, and our guys got a lot of important rebounds and loose balls that allowed us to score."
Next game: March 1 vs. Patrick Henry
