Tied at 43 with 2 minutes to go, Royals hold on. 

Twenty four hours after battling Boone County to overtime, we again found ourselves in a contentious contest with the 10th Region's consensus second ranked Mason County Royals.

In a game that saw five ties and six lead changes, the Mustangss led 9-7 after one, and trailed a point at 24-23 at intermission.  The homestanding Royals managed a four point advantage, 38-34 after three periods, but we clawed back to tie it up at 43s with just over a minute and a half remaining in the game.

Unfortunately, things went south for us in that final segment, as we were outscored 11-2, causing the scoreboard to be unkind to us, in the 54-45 loss.

Terrell Henry led all scorers with 19 points for the Royals, and Braylon Hamilton nailed five 3-pointers to contribute 15 points.  David Govan and Luke Schumacher countered with 14 and 13 for the Mustangs  

Mason County broke open a close game late to win the JV event 47-39.

Our Mustangs return home for a Senior Day Saturday when Lewis County makes the trek up the AA Highway to Alexandria for a 3:30pm JV game and a 5pm varsity encounter.
