Daniel Davis had four, Heath Hawkins had three and James Tate, Forrest Robertson and Drew Berry each had two points.

The girls, on the other hand, had a victory at Black Rock that night. The final score was 46 to 44. There were only five scorers that night. Brittany Fowler, the highest scorer, contributed 24 points to the score. Holly Dempsey, the next highest scorer, had a total of 10 points. Jenna Pike had six, Hayley Parker had two and Whitlee Rolland had one. Hayley Parker did more than score though, she kept the other team from making a shot in the last seconds remaining on the clock that could have tied or even won the game for Black Rock.  Parker blocked the shot ensuring the Mustangs the victory.

The Mustangs and Lady Mustangs gave it their all, and came out with one win for the week. The boys and girls are pushing on to win more games in the future.
