Sparks drops fourth straight
The Railroaders wrapped up an 0-4 weekend in their annual Rail City Classic with a 46-33 home loss to Lovelock on Saturday morning.
Sparks dropped to 1-4 while the Mustangs improved to 8-1.
It was a six-point contest at the half until Lovelock opened the third quarter with a 15-4 run that was too much for Sparks’ offense to overcome. The lead then ballooned to as much as 19 before ending at a 13-point difference.
Matt Longland led the Railroaders with 12. Ricky Guadron nearly reached double digits, finishing with nine.
With the exception of a brief 7-7 tied midway through the first quarter following a pair of Guadron free throws, Lovelock led the entire first half.
The Mustangs led by as much as seven before taking a 23-17 lead to the locker room.
Sparks continues non-league play next Saturday at Yerington.
