The Herriman Mustangs will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Bountiful Redhawks at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Herriman is headed out to face Bountiful after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Mustangs simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat Hunter 79-30. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 56-17.
Xavier Mulford went supernova, putting up 31 points. Azan Afridi was another key player, earning 13 points.
Meanwhile, Bountiful posted their closest victory since January 29th last Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 57-54 win over Provo.
Herriman better focus on containing Lincoln Smith and Davey Howe as the pair were huge in Bountiful's win. Smith went 10-for-18 to rack up 24 points and eight boards, while Howe posted 16 points and three steals. Smith's afternoon made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 20 points. Another player making a difference was Wyatt Crane, who scored six points and three steals.
Herriman beat Bountiful 86-73 in their previous meeting back in January of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Redhawks' Carson Smith, who shot 67% from the field on his way to 35 points. Now that he won't be playing on Wednesday, will it be easier for the Mustangs to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
