Following a JV game (Bricking 13, Rowe 12) where our guys made it look easy, laying a 56-38 wallop on the home team, our varsity Mustangs found tough-sledding in the first quarter, as we appeared out of synch and non-cohesive in whatever it was we were attempting to do.

Things could not have turned around more dramatically in the second quarter, as we went on an 8-0 run to begin the frame, knotting the score at 20s, prior to Drew Steffen unleashing a 14 point barrage that included four 3s, and Nick Cozzi finishing off a 16 point half with 9 second period points.  The Mustangs would put up a sum total of 36 points in the frame, giving them a 48-29 insurmountable lead at halftime. Steffen would add three more 3-pointers for a total of seven of them on the night – three short of a school record, as he Mustangs rolled to an 81-51 running-clock victory, bringing our season record to 8-9. In addition to Drew Steffen’s game-high 23 points, Nick Cozzi finished with 16, Beckett Kuntz 12, and Brady Rowe 10.  No Wildcat mustered double-figure points.
