Mammoth opened the week on the road against Whittell, where solid defense and patient offense helped the Huskies control the pace. Multiple players contributed on the boards and in transition as Mammoth earned a 48–38 win and set a positive tone for the week.

Back at home on Thursday, the Huskies delivered one of their more complete performances of the season in a 67–22 win over Big Pine. The team moved the ball well, created open looks, and stayed active defensively, leading to consistent scoring opportunities and limiting Big Pine’s ability to build momentum.

With little time to rest, Mammoth faced a physical matchup against Frazier Mountain on Friday. The game stayed close through the first half, but the Huskies tightened up defensively and made key plays in the final stretch to secure a 38–29 win. Several players stepped up with timely baskets and strong rebounding, helping Mammoth finish the week on a high note.

The three-game sweep brings the Huskies to 4–1 and reflects the progress the team is making as roles develop and chemistry continues to grow. While early in the season, Mammoth is showing signs of a group that plays together, defends well, and is learning how to win close, physical games.

As the Huskies head toward the holiday break, the team carries confidence, momentum, and a foundation they can continue building on in the weeks ahead.
