The Mayville boys’ basketball team saw its home-floor momentum slowed Friday night, falling 56–44 to nonconference opponent Cedar Grove–Belgium.
The Cardinals trailed by just two at halftime, 25–23, after a physical first half that featured tight defense on both ends. Cedar Grove–Belgium pulled away in the second half, outscoring Mayville 31–21 as the Cardinals struggled to find consistency offensively.
Senior Talan Meyer led Mayville with 15 points, while also contributing four rebounds, six assists, and a block. Joe Promersberger added 11 points and made his presence felt defensively with three blocks, while Emerson Mittelstadt filled the stat sheet with six points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and a block.
Tate Drinkwine chipped in five points along with two steals, and Braxton Wiese added five points and a team-high six rebounds. Kevin Keller rounded out the scoring with two points and four rebounds.
Mayville finished with 13 assists, seven steals, and six blocks, but turnovers and limited trips to the free-throw line proved costly against a disciplined Cedar Grove–Belgium squad.
