In the second frame, Myers Park extended their lead to 10 points basically on solid shooting, good defense, and some Indy turnovers. However, Braylan Milton scored a much needed basket and Ayanna Anderson contributed on two consecutive drives one down the middle another on a baseline drive. But when the buzzer sounded the Mustangs had a 32-22 advantage at the intermission.
