| Following the Championship Run of 2000, the 2001 Mustangs entered post-season play believing anything was possible and set their sights on a repeat. After defeating the Pendleton County Wildcats in the opening round of the 38th District Tournament, the Mustangs who had lost earlier in the season to Campbell County 73-44, dominated every quarter of their rematch with the Camels in the District Finals but the last one, allowing Campbell County to come from behind to claim the 38th District Title and enter the 10th Region Tournament as a district loser. |
 |
| Freshman Derrick Rhoden put on a show that night, scoring over Campbell superstar Kevin Reinhardt and blocking numerous Camel shot attempts. It was one of his best efforts ever. |
| The Brossart Mustangs took on Paris in the opening round of the 2001 10th Regional Tournament. Brossart had defeated Paris 71-53 on December 1st in the "Hound Pound" and 54-42 enroute to winning the All "A" Regional Tournament BUT Paris was on fire in the opening minutes of this game and the guys in green faced an early 19-2 deficit and appeared headed for an early ouster from the Grand Stage that year. However, as we all know, 19 points do not win ballgames and the Mustangs clawed back into it 33-27 by halftime and would overtake the upset-minded Hounds 46-41 by the end of the third quarter. |
 |
| Michael Eten and the 2001 Mustangs refused to lose in the opening round of that year's 10th Region Tournament and rallied from seventeen points behind to post the win. |
| After dodging the Paris bullet, the Mustangs appeared poised to challenge Mason County in a re-match of the 2000 Championship game, only this year the Mustangs were sans Justin Seiter and a new face on the scene would propel the Royals. A young freshman named Chris Lofton proved too tough for the 2001 Mustangs as they continued their apparent drive to the title, snuffing out Mustangs thoughts of a repeat, with a convincing 74-60 win over our defending regional champions. The Royals would be upset in the regional finals by Campbell County. |
