Our Mustangs concluded there whirlwind trip to Lexington, dipping our toes into the deep end of the pool for the second time within 17 hours.  On Saturday we were badly out-played early, but made a strong statement in the second half, outscoring the home team 45-32, albeit, too little too late, despite cutting the margin to 62-58 in the waning minutes of the contest against the Eagle ones.  Brady Boruske exploded for 19 second half points to lead the charge, and 24 points on the day to lead all scorers in the contest.  Drew Steffen added 12 and Beckett Kuntz 10, in the 72-66 loss as we seek to establish an identity, with this contributing combination of veterans and promising youngsters.  The Mustangs take a day off on Sunday, and will be back to hoops wars on Monday night, making up the opening night snow postponement with JV and Varsity games versus Grant County in Dry Ridge at 5:30pm and 7pm.

Hats off to our JV team, who after falling in 2OT at Sayre, rebounded by defeating a really good Lexington Christian JV team 34-30.  In that contest, Wyatt Feldman paced the Mustangs with 9, Cohen Trauth chipped in 8, while Brady Rowe and Bauer Glass put up 6 each in the quality win.
