BOURBON â Kouts saw a different defense in Saturday's night Class A Triton Regional.
The host Trojans employed a triangle and two on the Mustangs' top scorers, Cole and Cale Wireman.
"We just had to get our guys organized and get other guys to shoot the ball," Kouts coach Kevin Duzan said.
After trailing 12-9 after the first quarter, the No. 3 Mustangs outscored the Trojans 21-7 before halftime and pulled away for a 56-42 win and their third title in program history.
Kouts (28-2) won previous crowns in 1998 and 2001.
The Wireman brothers accounted for 48 points in the semifinal win over Fremont, but combined for only 17 in the nightcap.
