Friday wasn't just a must-win for the Mexico boys simply because it was Courtwarming, but it was also a conference and district game.
The Bulldogs beat Moberly 75-57 to stay an undefeated 6-0 in the North Central Missouri Conference against a Spartan team that is now 4-2 in the conference standings. Mexico (14-5) hits 11 3-pointers and finished with 19 assists to win their sixth straight game, opening the game with a 25-point first quarter. Jaydon Eldridge led with 18 points, PJ Perkins finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists and was named Mr. Bulldog after the game, Charlie Fisher had 15 points, four assists and three 3-pointers, and Kaden Benne had 12 points on four 3-pointers. Collin Knox led Moberly (11-10) with 19 points, and Mason Bivins had 12 points.
