Mustangs lose to Bastrop
Bastrop 69, Marble Falls 60 on Nov. 24
MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls High School boys basketball team trailed by as many as 24 points to Bastron on Nov. 24 before falling 69-60. The Mustangs trimmed the deficit to 66-60 with 18 seconds left, but free-throw shooting haunted them. By then, head coach Neil Laminack used every timeout.
Laminack said the gym didn’t have a lot of energy, so he told his players they would have to create their own.
"We didn’t have shots falling and things were going the other way," he said. "Sometimes you have to be better than everything working against you. You have to be better than a couple of calls not going your way. Sometimes you have to make plays that on normal days, you don’t make."
ON OFFENSE: Points — Colin Edwards 15, Rey Baltazar 15, Ben Stripling 12, Ishiah Carson 11
QUOTABLE: "You have to work hard at such a high level that it’s just normal," head coach Neil Laminack said.
RECORDS: Marble Falls is 1-2.
