SANTA FE HOLDS OFF MUSTANG

Edmond Santa Fe used strong defense in the second quarter to build a big lead at Mustang, then spent the second half trying to hold onto it.

Santa Fe's lead peaked at 19 in the third quarter, and 12th-ranked Mustang cut it to 61-58 in the closing minutes. But the 11th-ranked Wolves held on for a 72-66 win.

Sophomore Curran Scott made four 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 18 points, while Dashon Bell added 15.
