For Mount Vernon boys’ basketball, it was an odd week.

On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the Mustangs lost a cross-division WaMaC game to No. 10 Clear Creek Amana 80-51 in XTream Arena in Coralville.

The Mustangs trailed just 39-33 at halftime, but the Clippers won the third quarter 17-5.

CCA, winners of the WaMaC West, improved to 17-4 overall. Andrew Rotzoll led CCA with 16 points. Brock Hilsman had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Then Friday, Feb. 14, Mount Vernon had their WaMaC home finale cancelled when Grinnell couldn’t solve a transportation issue. The Mustangs finished 11-4 in the WaMaC East, a half-game back of Solon and Center Point-Urbana, both 12-4.

Mount Vernon (15-5) had a Senior Night game against Washington (9-11) on Tuesday, Feb. 18, and were still waiting for their postseason assignment as of Monday afternoon. First-round 3A substate games are set for Monday, Feb. 24.
