Lovelock shocked the Greenwave boys basketball team Thursday as the Mustangs galloped away with a 71-40 home win against the Northern 3A team.
The Greenwave offense started slowly to the game, scoring eight points in the first quarter. The Mustangs brought a stronger offense and closed the quarter with a 14-8 lead. The Mustangs continued to open their lead in the second quarter and ended the first half, 40-17.
In the second half, the Greenwave continued to fall behind Lovelock. The Mustangs took charge in the third quarter, 55-25. In the fourth, though, Fallon played evenly with the Mustangs by breaking Lovelock’s defense to score 15 points. The Mustangs’ offense stayed strong, though, and closed the game with a 29-point lead.
Brenden Larson led the Greenwave with 10 points; Christian Nemeth was behind him with 9 and Elijah Jackson tallied 8. Kapili Gleason scored 5 followed by John Cooley with 4, and Hayden Strasdin and Craig Smith each with 2. Nemeth, Jackson and Strasdin also grabbed seven rebounds each.
