| The hot shooting Walton freshmen team blistered the nets in the first half for six 3-point goals to establish a 28-13 first half lead and waltzed home to a 44-31 victory over our Mustangs. As Walton-Verona played a more human second half, our Mustangs battled hard to outscore the visitors 18-16, but the damage had been long done, and this one was out of reach. Clay Cuzick nailed a trio of trifectas in the first quarter, while James Rice, Samuel Schmitt, and Vance Sullivan all got in on the act and contributed a long distance bomb apiece to overwhelm our guys, while on a 56 per game scoring pace. Walton would only connect on one 3 ball in the second half, that by Derrick Lynn as the law of averages took over and the Bearcats cooled off considerably. Walton improves to 5-2 on the season, while our Stangs fall to 2-5. It was enjoyable watching Vance Sullivan play tonight. I had not seen him since his days serving as the Campbell County ballboy during his dad Dan's stint as the head coach of the Camels. He has not only grown up, but has developed into a fantastic left-handed big point guard who you will hear much about in the future. Corey Hartig led all scorers in the freshmen game with 13 points, as the young forward continues to overachieve on a game to game basis. John Schack turned in another blue-collar effort netting 10 points, including four of four from the free-throw line, and a bunch of rebounds in the losing cause. Thanks to Mustang Varsity Forward Jacob Rieger for his insights while serving as color man on the freshmen game broadcast.

| Mustangs Outlast Walton-Verona 46-43 In Game Of Momentum Swings |
| Brossart's JVs found a way to win, even after squandering an 8 point lead late in a matter of a minute and a half late in the third period and then had to overcome a 38-33 Walton lead with only 2:53 left to play in the game. Coach Bob Rowe got big performances from Allen Kramer who had a myriad of opportunities that didn't fall and might have discouraged a lesser competitor, and finished strong to score 10 points despite fouling out late in the game. Kramer really left it all on the floor, which continues to draw the admiration of his fans and coaching staff. Nicholas Hanneken played a very smart game, taking advantage of Walton's overplaying him on defense, going backdoor several times |

Joey Webb saved his best for last, nailing two blue-chip second half three point goals, and Justin Morscher scored six of his eight points in the pivitol second half, hitting 4 of 5 from the charity stripe.
