Mustangs defeat Panthers

The Malta Mustangs were able to outlast the Roundup Panthers in the first action of 2018 in the Malta High School Gymnasium.

The win came after the team's 55-42 loss to the Rocky Boy Northern Stars on Friday, January 5.

In Malta's 45-35 win over Roundup, the team was led by Taylor Matthews who scored 16 points, eight of which were in the fourth period. Kevin Henry and Tel Jensen each had six.

"The first half we defended really well," Coach David Costin said. "Maybe not quite as well that second half but for us right now we are struggling on the offensive end to get a flow going."
