Mullen gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Sutherland Sailors 38-36. The Broncos have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Sailors, too.
Sutherland's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Mason Mortimer, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 11 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Jackson Saner, who earned eight points in addition to four steals.
Mullen will venture away from home to square off against Valentine at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Sutherland has already played their next match, a 57-12 loss against St. Patrick's on the 6th.
