The MBA basketball team opened its home season with a physical 43-34 win over Culleoka Friday night in Currey gym. After opening the game on an 8-0 run, the Big Red closed the first quarter up 11-5. MBA opened the 2nd quarter on a 7-0 run to take an 18-5 lead. A Culleoka spurt closed the gap to 20-14 at the half.
Culleoka continued to fight back and took a 33-32 lead early in the 4th, but it was all MBA from there as the Big Red closed the game on a 10-1 run to notch its second win of the season.
Balanced scoring and contributions from many places were again the story for MBA. Holden Mobley led the team in scoring with 9, while Austin Bennett added 8, and Joseph Sloan, Tyler Paslick, and Carlton Baker chipped in 6.
MBA takes the court again Tuesday in a road game at David Lipscomb. Come out and support your Big Red!
