The Carson Senators handled the Miners of Bishop Manogue, notching a 45-38 victory Friday night.

The Miners came into the game looking very strong and most likely believed that the game wouldn't be nearly as competitive from start to finish as it was.

The first quarter of the match up featured a defensive first quarter from both squads, but the Senators managed to keep the lead going into the second quarter at 13-6.

Quarter two was when Manogue really began to dial down their shots and make the game significantly more competitive with a score of 20-18 Carson at the half.
