Mustangs top Eagles 21-12

The Mustang football team was victorious over Wahlert in a hard hitting game at the Rock Bowl in front of 4,000 fans. The Mustangs were led by Josh Lenz with two touchdowns. Jordan Decker also scored and Brock Haas had over 100 yards rushing for the offense. John Hefel and Andrew Roos were important blockers for the offense.


The defense was guided by Haas and Matt Knabel who both seemed to be all over the field. The defense held a high scoring Wahlert offense to just 12 points. Lenz scored on an exciting 68 yard pass interception to help secure the win. Riley Anderson came up with an excellent interception to stop an Eagle drive late in the game.


Mustang special teams again played extremely well. Chris Huss has kicked 7 straight extra points to start the year. The kickoff team has also started the year out strong proving the importance of special teams in football. The long snapper, Shawn McGinnis, has been perfect this year.


The team had a great week of preparation for the game. All 50 players helped contribute to the big win. Thanks to the parents and sponsors for that great pre-game meal on Thursday.
