| The Mason County Royals established just why they have won 62 games over 10th Region opponents early in their game with the Mustangs on Tuesday night in the Fieldhouse. Blowing out to a 12-5 lead after a period in which the Mustangs struggled to find themselves, the Royals cruised to a rather easy 58-44 victory, their 16th of the season against five losses.. Still showing the ill effects of our loss to Hazard, the Mustangs struggled to hit shots early on as they were forced to play from behind in a game in which we never really ever got in synch. |
| The Mustangs trailed by six, 22-16 at the half and stayed within six until just before the end of the third quarter when the Royals opened a thirteen point lead 39-26 from where they would cruise to the final margain of victory. Wes Jones led all scorers with 22, Micah Turner contributed 12, and Andrew Tibbs 10, but the most impressive player on the floor might well have been freshman center, Darius Miller, who scored seven but showed early and often that he is a budding superstar. |
| The Mustangs were led in the scoring column by Evan McDole who put up fifteen for the Mustangs. The Stangs appear to be badly in need of a home game which they will get on Friday night when former head coach Willie Schlarman and the Highlands Bluebirds comes to call. |

| The JV Mustangs were tested over and again in their rematch of the MCIT Finals with the Mason County Royals but whenever they needed a big bucket or a momentum swing it always seemed to be there for them. Falling behind early, a quick Bob Rowe time-out righted the ship and the Mustangs forged ahead 12-9 after the first six minute quarter and never looked back. We led 26-19 at the half and 36-30 after three quarters as Kyle Kramer turned back a Royals challenge with a big |
| "3" keeping Big Mo in a green uniform into the final period. A Jimmy Uebel three-pointer and seven points by the workhorse, Troy Cooper put the finishing touches on the Royals as the Mustangs improved to 16-0 on the season. Troy Cooper led all scorers with a 21 point output and Nathan Mutsch hit double figures with 10, as the Mustangs put 8 players in the scoring column. The Mustang JVs, who had been idle since January 21st will have a busy weekend, playing Highlands at home on Friday, a 38th District Semi-Finals matchup with Bracken County on Saturday afternoon at Pendleton County High School, a JV game at Simon Kenton on Saturday night and hopefully a return to Falmouth for the Championship game of the 38th District, a title that we have won for the past two seasons, on Sunday afternoon. |
