Basketball Preview: Horeb Christian Mustangs vs. Marathon Dolphins
The Horeb Christian Mustangs are taking a road trip to square off against the Marathon Dolphins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Horeb Christian will be strutting in after a win while Marathon will be coming in after a defeat.
While Mustangs fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They blew past Scheck Hillel Community School 56-34 on Wednesday. The score was close at the half, but the Mustangs pulled away in the second half with 35 points.
Horeb Christian's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jeremiah Wilson, who posted 17 points. Wilson's evening made it five games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. Ifeanyi Ezeala was another key player, earning 16 points.
Meanwhile, a win for Marathon just wasn't in the cards on Thursday as the squad wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They lost 63-43 to David Posnack Jewish Day. The Dolphins haven't had much luck with the Rams recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.
Things could have been worse for Horeb Christian, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 70-53 loss to Marathon in their previous meeting back in January. Thankfully for Horeb Christian, YANIEL GARCIA (who went 9 for 16 en route to 19 points plus seven rebounds and three steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
