A Game: Memorial went across town, and came away with a 43-34 victory at Whittier. The home team got out to a fast start, while the Mustangs struggled to find a rhythm. They found it late in the 3rd quarter, and it continued through the end of the game. The win pushed the Mustangs to 4-1.
Coach's Comment: "I was wondering if we were ever going to turn the corner. We were quite stagnant on offense in the first half, but then we started getting the shots we wanted later in the game. Nathan D. did a good job of icing the game with free throws, and we all did a great job of eliminating second chances on defense."
B Game: The Mustangs fell to Whittier by the score of 40-29 in the second game of the day. The first half was a sloppy, see-saw battle that had several lead changes. The second half was controlled by the home team. Memorial's record moved to 3-2, with a match-up against O'Gorman coming up on Friday.
Coach's Comment: "We had some flashes of hustle today, but it was never sustained. They out-worked us, and that doesn't feel good. We have a team that loves to play basketball the right way, as hard as we can, so hopefully we can get the intensity back on Friday. I think we, myself included, forgot how fun this game is today."
