At the beginning of the season, I said that the Denver Academy Mustangs Varsity Boys Basketball Team had something that no other Denver Academy team has had in a long time. The expectations for the team were high. Last year, there was hope, and it was proved right with a four-game improvement over the team two years ago. Thanks to that improvement, the Mustangs garnered the aforementioned expectations placed upon this year’s team.

Tuesday night’s Varsity Boys Basketball game between the Denver Academy Mustangs and the Front Range Christian Falcons was one that was circled on players’ calendars since the schedule came out in October. The Falcons got only one win last year against the Mustangs during the district playoffs. It was a heartbreaking loss, and one the Mustangs almost came back and won.
