Former Mesquite basketball standouts making an impact at the collegiate level

By DEVIN HASSON, dhasson@starlocalnews.com
Mesquite has established itself as one of the most consistent programs in the area, having made the playoffs every season for the last decade.

So it is little surprise that some of the standouts from those successful Skeeter teams are making a big impact at the collegiate level.

Sidekicks enjoy sweet revenge

Behind a stellar effort in goal from Sagu, the Dallas Sidekicks avenged their only loss of the season with a convincing 6-2 thumping of the Chicago Mustangs in front of 4,015 delighted fans Saturday at the Allen Event Center.


The Sidekicks (9-1) strengthened their hold on their PASL Central Division lead over Chicago (9-3) following their 8-7 overtime defeat to the Mustangs last week in Chicago.

Sidekicks Coach Tatu said the win was much more important than just the revenge factor.

"They are a difficult team to play against," he said. "They work hard and they are physical, so I thought we did well.

"This was big tonight," Tatu said, noting the upcoming schedule featuring two games against undefeated San Diego, along with a date at Southwestern Division leader Las Vegas. "We have to make sure we continue to win games if we want to get in the playoffs and have home field [advantage]."
