The Mount Sinai boys basketball team just keeps piling up the wins and their defense has been at the forefront of the winning this season.
The Mustangs improved their record to 7-1 on the season with another exciting win this weekend. They defeated Newfield 76-73 to improve to 3-0 in their division.
The Mustangs defense has been a big reason for their hot start to the season. Mount Sinai has held five different teams to 53 or less points and only Newfield was able to score more than 63 on them this season.
Their offense has also been a mainstay as they have scored 69+ points in all but two games this season and they have a high water mark of 85 they put up against John Glenn.
The scoring has come from many different Mustangs. Against Newfield Brian Vales scored 21 points, while Dominic Pennzello put in 17. Blake Kolsch added 14 and with Marcus Magloire's 12 that meant 4 players were in double digits, with another three adding to the scoring.
On the season Vales is averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds, Pennzello leads the team in scoring with 21 points per game and Brock Kolsch averages 10 per contest.
Mount Sinai continues their schedule this week with games against Kings Park before playing three games in 5 nights, two against Hampton Bays.
