On the other end, the Mustangs have to deal with the aggressive Waubonsie zone. Tre Watkins drives baseline and finds Khalil Jones near the block, who banks it in. Metea closes the gap to 11-7 with five minutes to play in the first.

Here’s Coleman trying the baseline on the other end and he turns it over. The Mustangs push the down the floor and go up for two, but Tinney sends it back! Moses Wilson leads the break, hitting a nasty crossover and finishing at the rim for two. The Warriors are up 13-7 after the back-and-forth action.

Moments later, Coleman inbounds the ball to Wilson. Coleman benefits from a solid screen and nails the three-pointer.  His first points of the night give Waubonsie Valley a 16-7 lead in the first quarter.

Metea is still working to break down the WV defense. Watkins finds Tyler Miller in the corner, and he drills the deep ball with a defender all over him. That three closes the gap to 18-10.

With a minute left in the first, Wilson steals a pass and is off to the races. He dumps it off to Tyreek Coleman, who side-steps the defense on his way for two points. The Warriors end the quarter on an 8-0 run, making it 26-10 to begin the second!

Metea looks to answer back. Miller advances the ball and gives it to Jones in the middle. Jones penetrates into the paint and lofts a nice floater over the defense. That bucket brings the Mustangs back within nine points at 29-20.

Moments later, Metea is working the ball around the zone. Eventually, the ball finds Tyler Miller from well beyond the arc and he knocks it down. His third three of the game makes it a 29-23 game with under four minutes left in the first half.

Back the other way, Coleman has the ball at the top of the key. He quickly sweeps to his right and he fights through the contact for the finish and the foul. Waubonsie is now up 34-23 with two minutes left in the second quarter.

A minute later, Coleman has it again and launches a deep three. It’s off, but Wilson is there to collect, and he puts it back up for two. With that, the Warriors go into halftime leading 40-25.
