The #3 moment of this year’s PCM countdown was also the top boys basketball moment of the year. On January 14th, the Mustangs played host to Fairfield in non-conference action, as heard on KRLS3. PCM got off to a quick start with a 17-9 lead after one. Fairfield started clawing their way back in the second for a 32-26 PCM halftime lead.

The Trojans owned the third quarter, outscoring PCM 20-8 for a 46-40 lead, and it was looking like Fairfield would cruise to a win with all the momentum on their side. The Mustangs came back, and held a 56-53 lead in the closing seconds to set up a wild finish.

That three-pointer by senior Jason Stafford sealed the 59-56 victory in dramatic comeback fashion.

Derek Brown led with 20 points and 10 rebounds in that game, while Stafford added 15 points and Durant Van Dyke chipped in 14. PCM went on to finish the season with a 12-11 record.
