Basketball Preview: Laton Mustangs vs. Kings Christian Crusaders
Laton hasn't had much luck against Kings Christian recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The two teams will face off at 7:15 p.m. without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Hopefully Laton focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 20 on Thursday.

They used a three-pronged attack on offense:
Dhane Olson,
Jesus Bocanegra, and
Yann Jimenez posted three points each.

Meanwhile, Kings Christian gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They really took it to Alpaugh for the full four quarters, racking up a 76-11 victory. With the Crusaders ahead 47-8 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Laton took a serious blow against Kings Christian in their previous meeting back in February, falling 65-20. Thankfully for Laton, Ronnie Roche (who shot 4-for-7 from long range and almost dropped a double-double on 30 points and nine rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
