After a little “figuring the Blue Devils out,” to open the Sutton Mustangs D1-3 Sub-District final, Thursday, Feb. 22, the Mustangs put together a good ole’ fashioned woodshed moment with Kenesaw, as Sutton outscored the Blue Devils by 11 points in the third quarter to lead the Mustangs to their 14th win of the season and a trip to the D1-7 District final, which was slated for this past Tuesday night, Feb. 27 at Southern Valley High School.
The final was to pit the Mustangs against the Dundy County/Stratton Tigers, a 20-5 club, and winners of the D1-10 Sub-District title over Cambridge, winning 54-32 over the Trojans.
Junior Harrison Herndon, senior Cole Baumert, and sophomore Keith Kliewer powered the Mustang offense, combining for 42 of Sutton’s 59 points.
Herndon led with 18 points, Baumert dropped in 14, and Kliewer, 10.
Junior Aidan Jones added eight, sophomore Payton Reed, five, and junior Weston Ohrt, four.
