| Mustangs Host GCL LaSalle Lancers In Freshmen /JV Doubleheader Prelim To Sunday's Bluegrass-Buckeye Varsity Matchup |
 |
| In Coach Bob Rowe's illustrious ten year career he has been known to pull more than a few rabbits out of his hat. Down 9 points at the :46 second mark the Mustangs trailed their GCL opponents by three possessions and the Lancers appeared to have this one safely tucked away. A bucket by Greg Stortz, a pair of free throws by Brendon Jones and a reciprocal basket by Kyle Kramer and it was still a seven point game with :26 seconds to play. Brian Niemeyer then stuck in two free-throws, cutting the Lancer lead to 40-35, and when Matt Lloyd intercepted a LaSalle pass and called time-out memories of a long-ago impossible comeback over St. Henry and more recently a Steve McCarthy led miracle finish against Newport began to creep into mind. Bryan Niemeyer cut the Lancer lead to 40-37 and Brossart had clawed their way into a one possession ballgame on a 9-4 run at the :16 mark and then made it more interesting by forcing a five second violation and the Mustangs had a chance to get the game to OT with a 3-ball. Brian Niemeyer put up a shot from the corner which the Stangs rebounded but failed to convert as Kendall Owens stole a Mustang pass and then converted one of two shots to take the 41-37 victory back to the west side. |

| Earlier in the game the Mustangs went on a 10-0 run to open the game on a pair of Bryan Niemeyer 3's and a bucket each by Matthew Hansman and Greg Stortz. Momentum then changed uniforms and the Lancers outscored out guys 10-2 in the fatal second period, giving the Lancers a 22-16 advantage at halftime and the Mustangs would fight an uphill battle until the final minute of play when the Mustans rallied furiously to just miss. The Mustangs fall to 3-2 and will host Lexington Catholic on Wednesday night in another Freshmen-JV doubleheader. |

| Our Freshmen Mustangs proved to be a bit too hospitable to the visitors from the Greater Cincinnati League falling behind early at 19-6 after one period of play but experiencing some success in the press-break and high percentage shot departments. Unfortunately between the good stuff there was some "shoot yourself in your foot stuff" as the Lancers converted numberous Mustangs turnovers into easy baskets which proved their undoing. LaSalle continued to pull away in the second period outscoring the homestanding Mustangs 12-4 to take an insurmountable 31-10 to the locker room at halftime. In their previous game the Lancers opened up a 40-16 lead over the freshmen St. X Bombers, so this 5-0 club can play the game. Brossart hung tough in the second half improving in all facets of the contest and were outscored only 13-10 in the third quarter against the LaSalle first-string and outscored the Lancers 10-9 in the fourth quarter after Coach Nick Rubenholf pulled the plug and dropped back into a 2-3 zone. Tony Harris did a masterful job for the Lancers on both ends of the floor, leading all scorers with 19. The Mustangs placed nine players in the scoring column led by Tony Woeste and Justin Barth with six points each. |
