The Freshmen ran out to an early 10-3 first quarter advantage, which quickly expanded to 15-5, before the Knights fought back to make it a 19-12 game at the half. The Mustangs increased their lead to 29-21 after three quarters before stalling out on offense, saved by two major Jacob Rieger three point inbound play goals to hold off the Knights and improve to 7-1 with the 35-32 victory. Rieger led the Stangs Freshmen with 18 points and Jordan Armstrong put up 10. |
Merrily we were rolling along in both ends of the Thursday night doubleheader Freshman and JV games when both teams ran into late game bridge abutments and were lucky to survive. The JVs followed the script written by the freshmen opening up a first quarter 11-4 lead after six mintues and a 23-13 advantage at the half. Neither team could mount a serious offensive attack in the third period with the Mustangs actually outscoring LexCath 5-2 to build a 28-15 lead. A Jacob Rieger free throw with 4:10 remaining in the third quarter would be the end of the scoring for the Mustangs for the game.. The 28 points scored at that point would have to stand up against ten more put up by LexCath to make for an exciting finish to a bad half of Mustangs JV basketball Whatever, a win is a win is a win, and anytime you can defeat a team from a program such as Lexington Catholic we will definitely take it no matter how ugly.
