The Meadows School Mustangs are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Basic Wolves at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The Meadows School will be strutting in after a victory while Basic 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 Saturday's season opener. They were the clear victor by a 73-51 margin over Cheyenne on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Basic unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were outmatched by Mojave at home and fell 81-43. The Wolves were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 45-20.
Basic's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of JaMari Cottingham, who almost dropped a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds, and Amare Oba, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Even though they lost, Basic smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 12 offensive rebounds in 12 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
