The Princeton game could have been a heartbreaker, but the Mustangs rallied and came back after being behind by thirteen points. Most of the girls felt the highlight of the season was avenging last years losses and defeating Pine City twice. Some other very memorable moments were concerning “The fun and exciting talks a few of us would have on the rides coming home, as Melo Norgaard reflected.

This years running Mustangs moved toward recognition with impressive speed in the 1982-1983 season. By February first, Mora accomplished a ten and one record, This put them at second place in the Rum River Conference behind Chisago Lakes, and earned them the honor of being ranked in the top ten for the state in Class A boys basketball. After two weeks of conditioning Z’s and team of- fensives and defensives, the Mustangs opened against Aitkin. One of Scott Lacher's fondest memories was, “Beating Aitkin when they were ranked number two in the state.” As Dan Gustafson recalled, “We ended up beating them by one point.” Mora continued, beating Pine City, and Princeton before falling to conference favorite Chisago Lakes. After breaking for the holidays, the Mustangs reeled off seven straight victories. This included the regaining of the Goat in the annual Goat Game, and defeating North Branch who’s starting line-up stands at 6 9 , 6 7 , 6 5 , 6 3 , and 6’ 0 .

The Mora Mustangs' future in basketball lies in the talents of our junior high teams. This year's junior high groups show a lot of potential. 8th grade boys basketball Coach Antonson remarked that “a number of players have even worked hard in the off-season to improve their skills.” 8th grade girls basketball Coach Bierbrauer said that “im- provements can be seen by looking at the players' statistics.” The seventh grade teams had a few comments on what it was like to play up at the High School. Dean Gorton noted that he liked the High School program ... “a lot better. (Because) there’s not as many people.” And Robin Lick went on to add that he liked it also, because there was “more competition. The seventh grade girls had two teams this year — a red and a blue team. One girl’s player said that the coaching seemed a lot “tougher” but, she liked playing this year.
