The Sahuarita Mustangs's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their fifth straight loss. They fell to Safford 65-61. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
Despite the loss, Sahuarita saw an underclassman step up: Zack Myhre scored 23 points along with 7 rebounds. Alejandro Vega was another key contributor, scoring 9 points along with 3 steals.

Sahuarita will look to defend their home court on Thursday against Tanque Verde at 7:00 p.m. Tanque Verde knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three contests -- so hopefully Sahuarita likes a good challenge.
