Mitchell Hupp had 23 points and 8 rebounds.
Jeff’s Clarkson/Leigh Recap:
The Patriots led the Mustangs 18-8 after one and won the 2nd quarter 17-11 to take a 35-19 lead into the locker room. Clarkson/Leigh outscored Stanton 16-5 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 51-24 at the end of three. The Patriots won the 4th quarter 13-8.
End of Season Synopsis:
Stanton ends their year at 2-19. It was a struggle for the Mustangs this season. Stanton says goodbye to Hupp and Tanner Simmerman. Key returners include Barrett Wilke and Josh Arens. I don’t know what the future holds for this program, but I look for the Mustangs to work hard this offseason and be much improved next year. I think Stanton will have a good summer and fare better next year than they did this year. It is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication in the offseason though.
