EAGLES — The Eagles lost to Mumford 67-53 on Friday, marking their fourth loss in their last five games.
“We felt we could’ve won a couple more of the games we’ve lost,” said Kyle Edwards, MHS boy’s head basketball coach. “But injuries have plagued us throughout the season, and especially district play.”

Earlier in the week, MHS lost another hard-fought game with Granger 49-44. Thurman had 17, Cordell Spears had 10, Telg had eight, Arthur Soto had six and Westbrook had three.

“We can make the playoffs,” Edwards said. “But we’ll have to play our best basketball and hope for things we can’t control to fall our way.”
