Mullen Runs Past Thornton

Despite the Thornton Trojans hot start on Saturday at home, the Mullen Mustangs ran past the Trojans, 83-50. Mullen successively carved up the Trojan defense the entire afternoon. The Mullen guards passed their way through the Trojan press and usually ended up with a lay up. The Mustangs scored 83 points with only making one 3-pointer. Mustang junior guard Matteo Busnardo tallied 26 points and senior guard Nathan Davis added 17 points playing sparingly as he comes back from ACL surgery. Davis was aggressive and attacked the rim, he elevated nicely for a two handed dunk early in the game.

Thornton did score 50 points in the game and had some successful moments. They did a good job breaking down the Mullen defense and got off a big number of shots.  Which included hitting eight three pointers  but five of those came in the first quarter. After the first quarter the well ran dry and the Trojans struggled to put the ball in the basket. Ricky Griffin scored 10 points and Brandon Nellis netted 10 points as well for the Trojans.
