Fountain Central Jr/Sr High School

Fountain Central earned a piece of the Wabash River Conference title with a big win over the Parke Heritage Wolves. They started the game off hot, knocking down some big shots in the first half. The Lady Mustangs went at halftime with a 19-16 lead, but came out and work to increase the margin greatly. They remained poised while taking care of the basketball to get great looks, and the defensive effort was through the roof.

The communication and hustle from our leadership was more impressive than the margin of victory, and several Mustangs played a key role in the win.
