What a Great Game

Monday night's game was very exciting.  The boys came out strong, scored first and never let Sacred Heart get ahead.  A win everyone was pumped about, as SHA is one of our leading rivals, and we have rarely beat them!  Here is the write up that was in the announcement the next day.


The varsity boys basketball team was back in action Monday night against rival Sacred Heart. The Mustangs used a total team effort to get their first win of the season. The teams were even at 16 at the end of one quarter of play.  The Mustangs shot out of the gate in the 2nd quarter and outscored the Irish 25-6.  The Irish fought back in the second half but the Mustangs would not allow them to narrow the gap any closer than 6 points, with a final score the Mustangs 64, Irish 58.  The Stampede was led by Connor Riley scoring 24 points, pulling in 7 rebounds, and finding his teammates for 7 assists as well.  Jordan Balhorn scored 12 points, going 4 for 4 from the free throw line in crunch time.  David Gormley added 13 points and 6 rebounds, along with 3 blocks.  Cody Christensen added 10 points and 6 boards along with some great plays on defense, including a charge in the 4th quarter to stifle an Irish run.  The motor of the mustangs, Wyatt Sackett added 12 rebounds and tough defensive play as well.  The Mustangs showed great energy as a team for all 4 quarters.
