Stallion Boys 65-39 Over Huskies

The Stallion boys team also dominated their opponent in a shorten game due to an injury suffered on the court by a Huskie player with 1:37 remaining in the third period. The young man had to be carted off the hardwood after a very bad fall under the boards on a clean play. Just a very unfortunate and rare occurrence, we certainly wish the player well and to have a full and quick recovery.
