It was a face-paces, albeit low scoring, contest in Penn Yan as the Mustangs hosted Mynderse Academy on Saturday night in a key Finger Lakes East match-up. Penn Yan trailed 18-15 at halftime but came out firing in the third quarter outscoring Mynderse 16-8 to open up 5 point lead. The final quarter was all Blue Devils, however, as they won the fourth 21-5 to capture a 47-36 win and remain just one-game back of Wayne in the league standings.
Hunter Haust led the way with 16 points for Mynderse. Kellen Caraher added 9, Darren Miller scored 7 and Devin Anderson had 6 including a big left handed layup late in the game and a pair of free throws inside the final minute.
Penn Yan was led by Dylan Stape’s 14 while Desmond Battin scored 10 and Ben Emerson had 8 points.
Mynderse and Penn Yan meet again on February 12th in Seneca Falls.
