From STAFF REPORTS
It seemed Muir was about to go on a major skid after losing in Wednesday’s opener of the Tarkanian Classic.
The Mustangs entered the tournament on a two-game losing streak and hadn’t played in 18 days.
To make matters worse, Muir got thumped in the first round in Vegas, 72-42 to extend the losing streak to three.
But here’s where it gets good.
Simaine Stewart’s boys regrouped and are now on a two-game win streak, and they’ve seemed to figure it out some four hours from home.
They defeated Chaparral, 63-61, Thursday, and today, the Mustangs held off East High of Utah, 52-41, to give the players and their coaches a much-needed shot in the arm.
Hunter Woods led the way with 18 points and 6 rebounds.
Haleem Jenkins finished with 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.
Tiyon Martin added 7 points, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Tasson Aubry pitched in 6 points and Simaine Stewart Junior had 5 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds.
Muir will face Timpview of Utah on Saturday at noon at Desert Oasis High School.
