Suggested Video

Mesquite put another one in the bag on Tuesday to keep their perfect season alive. They managed a 70-64 win over the Queen Creek Bulldogs. For the Wildcats, this counts as revenge for the 55-51 victory the Bulldogs walked away with the last time they faced one another back in January of 2018.

Mesquite got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Taj Deloney out in front who went 7 for 14 en route to 14 points plus six rebounds and five steals. What's more, Deloney also posted a 50% field goal percentage, which is the highest he's posted since back in November of 2023. Marcus Ward was another key player, going 5 for 11 en route to 13 points plus three steals.

Mesquite's victory bumped their record up to 3-0.

Mesquite won't have much time to rest: their next game is against Mesa at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Mesquite's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.
