Fifteen games into the 2019-2020 season, Lady Mustangs Head Coach John Berkman has learned that his team refuses to go away against quality opponents.

Despite a recent string of losses to tough teams, Berkman likes his team's effort and grit.

The Lady Mustangs (7-8) lost the final two games in bracket play of the Hill Country Classic on Saturday, Nov. 23 followed by back-to-back losses to Boerne Champion on Nov. 25 and Copperas Cove on Nov. 26.

The Marble Falls Lady Mustangs opened their 2019-2020 season with a come-from-behind 54-48 victory over Manor on Friday night at Max Copeland Gym.

The home team Mustangs trailed for the majority of the game but took the lead late in the fourth quarter with clutch plays.

It wasn't the best showing for the Lady Mustangs, said Head Coach John Berkman, but a win like this is a great way to start a season.

Coming off a playoff berth as the fourth-seed last season, the Marble Falls Lady Mustangs basketball team is returning nine players and looking to move further into the postseason.

Among the returning players on this year's team are seven seniors resulting in one of the most experienced squads in the tenure of Head Coach John Berkman.

The team did, however, lose valuable inside height to graduation last year. Only one of the team's three primary bigs – Daijah Torns – returns this season, and it has forced the coaching staff to change the team's play style from the inside-out focus of last year.
