The Bobcats play at Provo on Friday and Bear River heads down to Park City to take on the Miners on the same day.

<strong>TITANS 63, MUSTANGS 56</strong>

A slow start by Mountain Crest negated a magnificent game from Tyler Crosbie as the Mustangs fell on the road Wednesday evening at Syracuse.

Crosbie poured in a game and season-high 36 points – including five 3-pointers – but no other MC player scored in double figures. Mountain Crest lost the game, despite outscoring the Titans by three in the second half.

Syracuse got things going early behind Dionte Mitchell who had a team-high 26 points. The Titans jumped out to an 18-11 lead by the end of the first quarter, and added to their lead in the second quarter, taking a 29-19 lead into the half.

Mountain Crest got within seven heading into the final quarter of action, with a 19-16 advantage in the third quarter. However, both teams matched each other with 18 points in the fourth quarter as MC was able to get no closer.

The Mustangs (3-3) continue their long road trip with a game at American Fork Friday. MC will look to get back on the winning track after losing back-to-back games for the first time this season.
