The Meadowcreek Mustangs's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their seventh straight loss. They took a 62-44 bruising from Tucker.

Meadowcreek and Cross Creek will face off at 11:30 a.m. on December 27th without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Tucker and Shiloh will face off at 1:30 p.m. on December 27th without much rest after finishing up games yesterday.
