Muscatine Falls to Sioux City Giants in West Division Showdown
In one of the west’s great basketball games Muscatine lost 33 to 29 to the Sioux City Giants. The match decided the state title claim as Muscatine struggled on a unfamiliar association floor while the Giants leveraged court familiarity to hold a slim lead through the second half. Referee Modisett twice frustrated Muscatine’s comeback with fouls, allowing the Giants to extend a four point edge at the final whistle. The Muscatine squad planned another game tonight at Shenandoah.
