The Nlustangs then gained revenge for their earlier defeat by Mesa, by easily down- ing them, 49-31 and the next night they blasted Peoria, 51-33, for their fifth straight Win. Yuma came, saw, and was conquered twice the next weekend by 46-23 and 63-44 scores. The lVlustangs entered the West Central tourney as co-favorites with Phoe- nix Union. In the opening round, they smashed Buckeye, 64-35. The next night VVickenburg fell, 52-22.

In the opening round of the state tourney, the Mustangs met and conquered Duncan, 44-40, but it was their ill luck that they should meet Phoenix Union the next day, for they succumbed to the Downtowners, 44-35.
