Last Friday night the Mustangs continued their winning streak after walking away from a 51-21 victory over the Glenpool Warriors.
Right out the gate the Mustangs got a late jump and fell behind 7-0 with almost 11 minutes left in the 1st quarter.
However, the Mustangs came back quickly with junior Jared Taylor coming up with a big run off the kick off and finished with senior Chance Dietz connecting with senior Cole Dunbar for a 3rd and long pass that turned into a Mustang touchdown.
Our defense was ready to go as they stepped out onto the field and held the Warriors to a punt.
Sophomore Zac Wright got a big 1st down for the Mustangs to start the drive downfield and Dietz wrapped it up with a big carry for the Mustangs to secure the lead with a 14-7 score with just over 5 minutes left in the 1st quarter.
After holding the offense to another punt, Dietz steps on the field to complete a pass to Dunbar and with 1 play the Mustangs put another touchdown on the board.
Our defense came out on fire and forced the Warriors to punt, but junior Ethan Morton came out and blocked the punt and senior Seth Franzen picked up the ball to give the Mustangs excellent field position as the offense came out.
Taking advantage of the good field position, senior Gunter Pearson runs right into the endzone for another touchdown bringing up the end of the 1st quarter.
