The Stanhope Elmore boys basketball team fell to its biggest rival in Wetumpka on Friday, 62-54. 

The Mustangs played a very composed game in what was a very electric environment on the road. 

“I thought we played well, and I thought with how young our team is, I thought we handled the atmosphere well,” Stanhope Elmore coach Austin Moncus said. “Even from the start of the game, we were locked in, even though there were a ton of people there, and from a coaching standpoint, one of the larger crowds that I’ve ever been in, but our kids handled it well.”

The Mustangs have seen multiple players step up all year when they have needed to. Terrance Collins has had a sensational freshman season so far, as he is averaging a double-double. Collins put together another incredible performance last Friday night. 

“(Terrance) has been huge for us all year, and he has had some big moments for us,” Moncus said. “We mesh well as a team and the guys truly believe in each other to get the job done when their number is called.”

Collins is producing in every category for the Mustangs as he is averaging 17.3 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. 

Collins shot the ball extremely well Friday as he was 4-for-7 from 3-point range on his way to scoring an 18-point performance.
