| Last Friday night it was the offensive efforts of our forwards Troy Cooper and Nathan Mutsch who made the difference against the Highlands Bluebirds. On Tuessday night in the opening round of the 5th/3rd Classic, it was the sharpshooting of Jimmy Uebel, who connected on four first-half three point goals and the brilliant play of Josh Kidney who hit two threes and a two to put eight points on the board in the first half. The Cooper-Mutsch duo managed only nine points in the first two periods as the Mustangs managed a ten point lead of 33-23. Kidney tacked on another ten points in the second half to finish with 18 points, and should have been 20 had a no-doubt goal-tend been called. Jimmy added another three to his collection for a total of five on the night, which along with a free throw equated to a sixteen point night. Troy Cooper exploded for 18 points in the second half to hold the Bulldogs at bay as they cut the Mustangs lead to four at 54-50 before Cooper strung baskets to re-establish the Mustangs lead at double figure and preserve the victory.

| Mustangs Let The Big One Get Away Lose First Game Of The Season With 53-50 Loss To Host Lexington Catholic Lead 46-42 With The Ball - Victimized By Late Game Turnovers |
The Brossart Mustangs shared something with the rest of the state
on Thursday night that the rest of us have known for quite some
time.
We are one of the top teams in the state and will compete with all
comers.
The Mustangs returned to the hotel unfulfilled after losing 53-50 to
the homestanding Lexington Catholic Knights in the waning
moments of the ballgame, after having led 46-42 with the ball, but
could not maintain or improve upon that lead.
An uncharacteristic string of turnovers allowed the Knights to climb
back into the game and a pair of Jordan Smart three-point goals held
our team at bay.
Troy Cooper again led the Mustang attack with 18. Jimmy Uebel
netted 13 points including three 3's, and Josh Kidney played another
masterful game putting up 11 also nailing three 3's.
BOX SCORE: Kidney 1-3-0/0-11, Uebel 1-3-2/4-13,
Mutsch 2-0-4/5-8, Cooper 7-0-4/5-18
Total Mustangs: 11-6-10/14-50 9-1 3-0
Total Knights: 16-4- 9/14-53

| Mustangs Upset Eleventh Ranked Henry Clay Blue Devils 46-40 In Fifth-Third Bank Classic Consolation Game |
| On Friday afternoon the Brossart Mustangs played the Lexington Henry Clay Blue Devils for the first time in the history of our two programs. Henry Clay came into the game raked 11th in the state in the most recent Courier-Journal polls. They have been to the "Sweet Sixteen" State Tournament on 25 occasions, the first time back in 1918 and their most recent appearance in 2003. They have won six State Championships. Our Mustangs have been to the "Sweet Sixteen" State Tournament only once, back in 2000, but today the Mustangs beat the storied Blue Devils 46-40. The Mustangs established a 10-6 first quarter lead before falling behind by five points 18-13 when the Stangs went on a 7-0 run to re-establish the lead and take a two point lead to the locker room at halftime |
| We opened the second half by outscoring the Blue Devils 8-2, giving our guys a 28-20, eight point lead, which we maintained through the third quarter which ended with the Stangs on top, 32-24. A basket to start the fourth quarter gave the Mustangs a ten point lead 34-24, before momentum abruptly climbed into a Blue Devil uniform as the Stangs were outscored 10-2 and the Mustang lead was cut to 36-34 and later 41-40 and suddenly we were in danger of losing this 5th/3rd Consolation bout. But, as has been a trademark of this team, when we need a big basket we get one, and such was the case in this game. We hit our free throws down the stretch and preserved the victory 46-40, allowing us to go 3-1 in this prestigous tournament and improve to 10-1 overall. |
