Mustangs win first two games with style

Memorial began the 2012 slate of games with O'Gorman, coming out victorious in the A and B games.

A Game: After a quick start, the A team found themselves behind by three at halftime. They found their stride offensively in the second half, and pulled away from the visitors at the end to win 42-35. Aluong K. scored all of his 12 points in the second half, and the Mustang squad got some key steals at the end to ensure victory.
Coach Hoegh says: "We definitely showed some mental toughness and grit to pull this one out. I thought Kaedyn B gave us a real spark defensively that we all needed. This was a fun one, but there are some things we need to improve on before our next game. We plan on doing just that."

B Game: The second game of the night was a see-saw battle that featured multiple lead changes in the 4th quarter. The Mustangs won the game 33-31 on a go-ahead three-pointer from Kyle G with only 5 seconds left. Memorial got key contributions from many players, and executed some great plays during a wide open game.
Coach Hoegh says: "The B Game was memorable for a variety of reasons. I hope Kyle G remembers that game-winner for a long time. Other things were awesome, too. I've never seen somebody foul out as fast as Cole Z did - about 4 minutes - and he still scored 6 points! Payton B did a great job of rebounding for us. It's exciting to be a part of those games, when both teams are working so hard. Hopefully we can continue that trend."
