The Mendota varsity boys’ basketball team wrapped up its home schedule with a 48-35 loss to Stillman Valley in a Big Northern Conference contest on Feb. 11 at the MHS gym.
Yet another slow start plagued the Trojans. They found themselves trailing 13-4 after the opening period and never could catch up. Mendota was down 28-14 at the half and 36-22 after three.
Alexis Quintana (12 points) and Chris Sandoval (10 points) led the Trojan offense. Sandoval connected on a pair of three-point field goals.
