The Myers Park Mustangs put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They enjoyed a cozy 47-29 win over Hough. Given Myers Park's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked seventh, while Hough is ranked 174th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Several Huskies players turned in solid performances, despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Sophia Zoerb, who scored eight points. Kate Breault was another key contributor, scoring five points along with eight rebounds.
Hough struggled to work together and finished the game with only three assists. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as Myers Park racked up 13 assists.
Myers Park pushed their record up to 12-0 with that victory, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.4 points per game.
