Thursday night saw a bit of frontier justice doled out on the hardwood, and it was the Virginia City Muckers holding the gavel. In a contest that left little room for argument, they sent the Eureka Vandals packing with a 65-44 drubbing, marking the third straight time the boys from Eureka have tried and failed to unseat their Nevada rivals.
The Vandals, now sitting at 18-7, fought with all the grit you’d expect, but the Muckers were simply too much—slicker, sharper, and deadlier when it counted. That win pushes Virginia City to a sterling 23-3 record, a tally made all the more impressive by their ongoing habit of leaving townsfolk in stunned silence—this being their 19th straight road victory dating back to last season.
With Eureka officially out of the saddle for the season, Virginia City now sets its sights on a fresh scrap with Spring Mountain this Friday at 8:00 p.m. The boys from down south are riding in with an 11-game winning streak, no doubt thinking they’ve got another one in the bag. But if history’s got a say in it, they’ll find the Muckers ready, willing, and fully capable of rearranging their plans.
