Mathews kicked off their season on the road on Tuesday and hit a couple of potholes. They took a 57-49 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Columbiana Clippers. The Mustangs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Clippers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February.
Columbiana got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Hunter Davanzo out in front who went 6-for-10 on his way to 15 points in addition to six rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Senator Johnson, who shot 57% from the field en route to 18 points and six boards.
Columbiana has started the season off flawlessly and has a 2-0 record to show for it.
Mathews and Columbiana will both get their first taste of in-conference action in their upcoming games. The Mustangs are set to face off against their familiar foe Harding at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Columbiana will take on rival United at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
