Mustangs Get Six Loss Gorilla Off Our Backs With 52-38 Road Win Over St. Henry JVs Top Off 17-7 Season With 53-32 Rout of Cru JVs Finish Second In NKAC Division II Race With 5-1 Record February 24, 2006 |
Mustang Junior Bryan Niemeyer saved his best JV performance of the season for last, connecting on four first-half 3-point longballs in putting together a 20 point performance. That is the most points scored by any Mustang in a JV game this season. Matthew Hansman added 10 as the Mustangs overcame a 12-8 first quarter deficit and pushed out to a 26-19 lead at halftime on Niemeyer's coattails as Bryan scored 12 of his 20 in the second period. We are very proud of these JVs who finish their season at 17-7, were 37th District Champs, and one point from pulling off a four-peat in the MCIT tournament. They also finish as NKAC Divsion II Runner-ups with a 5-1 record as Holy Cross, our one loss, completed their conference schedule. In the past three years Coach Bob Rowe's JVs have amassed a 60-10 record and if you go back four years Coach Rowe coached JV teams are now 80-13. Figure in the top competition, including Elder, LaSalle, McNicholas, Lexington Catholic, CovCath, and the "all comers" schedule that our JVs play year in and year out and it is really amazing. WOW! Box Score: Lloyd 1-0-0/2-2, Rebholz 2-1-0/1-7 Ruberg 0-0-2/2-2, Niemeyer 2-4-4/6-20, Ridder 2-0-0/0-4, Kramer 0-0-0/2-2, Hertzenberg 2-0-0/0-4, Bleha 0-0-0/4-0, Hansman 4-0-2/3-10, Stortz 2-0-0/1-4 Totals Mustangs: 15-5-7/18-53 17-7 5-1 Totals Crusaders: 8-2-10/15-32 10-9 |
The Brossart Mustangs rolled into Erlanger on the final night of the regular season needing a win about as bad as a good team could possibly need a win. The string of unexpected losses had reached six and the district, regional, and state tournaments loomed directly ahead. Coach David Faust, having done his homework and noting our recent inability hit shots from the perimeter, came out in an old-fashioned 2-3 Zone, challenging us to a horse game. Fortunately, the varsity Mustangs took their cue from the just completed JV game, where the Mustangs connected on five shots from beyond the arc in dispatching their Crusader counterparts, and the big guys made it more of the same. Jimmy Uebel led five Mustangs scorers in putting up 13 points in the first period to St. Henry's five vs intense Mustang defense giving the Stangs an 8 point lead at 13-5 after eight minutes of play. St. Henry abandoned the zone plan in the second period and tried to guard us man-to-man in the half court with a sprinkling of full-court pressure, just to mix things up some. The result was a 13-13 second quarter that still equated to a 26-18 Brossart Mustangs halftime lead. Brossart would put up two more 13 point periods in the second half, giving them 52 on the night, and enough to defeat St. Henry (the 33rd District top seed) 52-38, heading back home on a new one game win streak, which if would grow to match our recent losing streak, would put us right into the Sweet Sixteen State Tournament during the third week in March. The 2000 team that made the trip had lost four of their last six regular season games and didn't win their twenthieth until they beat Graves County in Rupp. The Mustangs were led by Troy Cooper, who would be named to the NKCA Division II All-Region Team on Saturday morning. Cooper scored 15 points vs the Cru and was followed closely by Jimmy Uebel with 14 points and his normal assortment of intangibles that contributed to our victory. Brandon Lenhof, who went off on us in our earlier season Sydome encounter, was held to 10 points on his own home court. The Mustangs again played without the services of Josh Kidney who is still nursing an ouchy ankle. While Josh looked real nice in his shirt and tie sitting next to the coaching staff, he didn't look very happy about being a spectator. Box Score: Seiter 1-1-2/3-7, Franzen 2-0-0/0-6, Kramer 0-1-1/2-4, Lubbers 2-0-0/0-4, Uebel 3-1-5/5-14, Mutsch 1-0-0/0-2, Cooper 5-0-5/11-15 Totals Mustangs: 12-5-13/21-52 16-11 2-4 Totals Crusaders: 10-4- 6/11-38 13-13 |
