The Middle School Basketball Boys Mustang Team this season consisted of eight young men, half of whom never having played organized basketball before and none who played together as teammates, who defined the word "character". For eight games they were matched against teams that have played together for 6 or 7 years, lost games by one basket after being down by as much as 18 points late in the third quarter, played ill or hurt because of a lack of available substitutes. Yet at no time, no matter what the score or however late in the game, did these Mustangs ever not contest a shot, fight for a rebound, dive for a loose ball or stop harassing their opponent on defense. They never gave up on the basketball floor or on each other. They never complained, blamed others when they fell short on the scoreboard, or were disrespectful in any manner toward their opponents, officials or to the game of basketball. They're all heart and Currey Ingram is very fortunate that they wear the CIA green and white.

They were led on the court by rotating point guards Dalton Clayton, Ethan Davis, and Chase Moosher. This trio of selfless players were supported on the perimeter by Jack Mahanes, Brandon Watkins and the deadliest three point shooter in the league, Sam Bryant. Eli Asher and Miller Civetts manned the low post area, both always fighting for rebounds on any missed shots. The team lost to superior teams but could always be proud and satisfied with their gritty play and tough attitude for all 40 minutes of each game. Every week they worked hard to get better and learn as much as they could in a short three months to play as a team. They accomplished this and much more as the season progressed. They never quit. They had a great season.
