A Familiar Result, A Tough Night
Monday night brought a sense of déjà vu for the Surrey Mustangs. Once again, they faced the Central McLean Cougars. And once again, the Cougars walked away with a dominant win.
This time, the final score read 91–47. Although the number stung, the result did not shock many fans. After all, Central McLean entered the game ranked ninth in North Dakota, while Surrey sat at 57th. Still, hope always shows up at tip-off.
Cougars Take Control Early
From the opening minutes, Central McLean set the tone. They pushed the pace. They moved the ball well. And they scored often.
Meanwhile, Surrey struggled to slow them down. However, the Mustangs kept competing. They hustled. They fought for rebounds. They looked for clean shots. Even so, the Cougars kept building their lead.
As a result, the gap widened quickly. Therefore, the game slipped out of reach before halftime.
Records Tell the Story
With the loss, Surrey dropped to 4–6 on the season. More importantly, this marked their third straight home defeat. Although the streak hurts, the team continues to gain experience against top competition.
On the other side, Central McLean improved to an impressive 12–1. Consequently, they remain one of the most dangerous teams in the state.
What Comes Next
Surrey has already moved on. They recently played Mohall/Lansford/Sherwood. However, the final score has not been posted yet.
Meanwhile, Central McLean prepares for a matchup with Garrison. Likewise, no score is available so far.
Final Takeaway
Losses like this test a team. Still, they also build grit. Surrey now looks ahead, while Central McLean continues its strong run. As the season rolls on, every game brings another chance to grow.
