Herald staff
ARLINGTON -- Meadowdale took advantage of its size -- no player is under 6-feet tall -- to win a non-conference boys basketball game 72-48 Thursday over Arlington.
Evan Mattson, a 6-9 senior, led the Mavericks with 18 points while 6-6 sophomore Conner Hamlet added 14.
"We were able to utilize our height advantage," said Meadowdale head coach Chad McGuire. "(Mattson and Hamlet) were able to score inside and get offensive rebounds. We tried to go inside as much as we could."
It was a close game after the first quarter as Arlington led Meadowdale 21-19.
"We started hot," said Arlington assistant coach Joe Marsh. "Then we cooled off."
