Mustangs Edge Eagles In Thriller

Dubuque was once again treated to an excellent high school football game between Hempstead and Wahlert. The thrilling 24-21 victory was a game of momentum swings and big plays. Both teams should be proud of the effort and Sportsmanship that was displayed on this night as Hempstead goes to 2-0.


The Mustangs were led by captains Brock Haas, Matt Ehlers, Ben Henderson and Kyle Reinert.
Ben and Kyle play key roles on the offensive and defensive lines. Brock had 154 yards rushing and 2 TD's along with an excellent night at linebacker. Matt was 10-17 at QB (TD throw) and had an interception on "D". Junior Brad Duwe contributed heavily at receiver (Circus catch) and defensive back. Kyle Wiest was again perfect for the night with a 22yd. field goal.


Seniors TJ Houselog, Brandon Kiefer, Dan Riedl, Alex Brown(big catch) and Tyler McAtee once again were solid in victory. Juniors Jordan Waddick and Jay Gonzales are also playing key roles for the Mustangs.
