| Rebholz Return Provides Spark Neeeded To Beat The Previously Unbeaten Rebels 47-45 In 2OT Luke Rebholz Returned From The DL To Lead The Mustangs With 17 Freshmen Spot Rebs An 18-2 Cushion And Then Make A Game Of It |
 |
| For most of the members of the Brossart Mustangs Junior Varsity Team, they were playing their seventh game in the 2005-06 campaign last night at Boone County, but for Junior Luke Rebholz, who had looked so forward to being an integral part of this team this year before severely spraining his ankle on the Monday before the start of the season - it was opening night. Since his injury Luke has spent most of his days rehabbing the ankle for the day when he would once again join his teammates in competition on the hardwood. That time came last night in Florence against the unbeaten Boone County Rebels. He couldn't have rejoined his team at a more opportune time, as it took the Mustangs JVs double-overtime to overcome Boone County as Rebholz assumed his position as their go-to shooter, leading the Stangs in the scoring column with a 17 point performance including six field-goals of which two were of the three point variety. The Mustangs and Rebels slugged it out to a 5-2 Mustang advantage after the first period but saw the Rebs take a 14-13 lead at intermission. Brossart fell behind 13-21 with 4:01 to play in the third quarter but then battled back to make it a 24-26 defecit at the end of the third period. The Mustangs tied the contest at 28 at the 4:41 mark in the fourth period and were tied again at 30 each and then 32 apiece with 2:38 to play in the game. |
The Mustangs went on a 6-0 run to make it a 38-32 game with only 1:15 to play after Kyle Kramer sank two free-throws and led by six again at 40-34 with only 46 seconds to play, before Boone County capitalized on their next three possessions with field-goals tying the game at 40 with nine seconds to go, forcing overtime. Following the first three-minute extra period the teams were again deadlocked at 44, but two free-throws by Kyle Kramer put the Mustangs on top to stay in the second extra stanza at 46-45 and an icing on the cake freebie by Greg Stortz with ten seconds to play put the Boone County ball on the wall. The Mustangs improve to 5-3 on the season, while the Rebels lose their first game of the year against five previous victories.

Momentum remained in a green uniform in the early minutes of the second half as the Mustangs outscored the Rebs 4-0 to make it a 20-22 contest with just over four minutes to play in the third quarter. Boone County recovered to outscore the Stangs 9-7 in the remainder of the period to make it a 31-27 ballgame with the hometeam on top.
