A Game Recap: The Mustangs pulled out a close one at Edison, with a final tally of 46-38. Edison took advantage of a quick start to hold a lead until the 2nd half. It was then that the Mustangs took control of the game, getting some key baskets from Matt L. and Tristan T. The game included some outstanding hustle plays, as both teams wanted badly to be the winner.
Coach's Comment: "It was quite an atmosphere at their place. Our guys did a great job of stepping up when it mattered. We needed a great 2nd half and we got it. Our posts were able to get some nice buckets using their quickness against their size, and I thought that Kyle L. and Manny C. battled well all game down low. The guards really stepped up the ball pressure starting in the 2nd quarter, and I think that was a turning point in the game. The Mustangs played hard today, and this is a great win to build on."
B Game Recap: In the second game of the night, Memorial defeated Edison by a margin of three, 36-33. Memorial led for the majority of the game, but it became very interesting in the 4th quarter. The Mustangs were led in scoring by Kyler M., Josh G., and Jackson P.
Coach's Comment: "Give Edison credit for making great plays in the 4th to get back in it. We weren't getting back on D with the sense of urgency we needed, but then we made the proper adjustments to pull the game out. Austin W. made a huge three late in the game. To be honest, I thought we should have held the ball to protect the lead, but he made a great play. Josh G. and Parker S. made some great offensive moves that led to points. Jon H. is not the biggest guy on the court, but he was a beast today. He was making great plays all over the court. This is a game where the team that gets the most loose balls and rebounds usually wins, and that is something we'll have to remember. "
