This one went as hoped for, a convincing, dominating Brossart win over Bracken County.  The Bears, now 0-3, elected to receive to start the game, quickly going 3 and out.  Landon Spaulding wasted no time in finding Brady Boruske for a 70 yard touchdown connection on our first play from scrimmage, and when Ryan Eldridge hit his first of 3 of 4 PAT attempts, the Mustangs were on top 7-0 with 10:03 remaining in the first quarter.  A long Boruske carry would set up a 1 yard plunge by Spaulding for our second score, this one coming early in the second quarter which held up through halftime at 14-0.  We missed a couple of opportunites in the first half when we failed to convert on 4th and shorts, turning the ball over to the Bears on downs.  Neither came back to haunt us.

Freshman Tommy Busby scored his first career touchdown on a 5-yard carry.  It came at the 8:07 mark in the third quarter, making it 21-0 Mustangs, and would be followed by the second long-distance aerial connection between Spaulding and Boruske, this one going for an 80 yard score, Boruske’s second trophy run of the night.  This PAT attempt failed as the Mustangs increased our lead to 27-0.  The Bears answered late in the period, making it 27-7, giving the Bracken County fans something to cheer about, as Ryland Tucker connected wth Andrew Kirk for a 67yard touchdown. which would result in the final score.

Boruske had a big night, again, picking up 234 yards via air, a new school record for Most Receiving Yards In A Single Game, and he was deprived a third touchdown reception from Spaulding, as he was stopped at the one yard line, mid-second period.  Brady also had a pair of interceptions.  Landon Spaulding now holds the top 3 spots on the Single Game-Yards-Passing School Records Chart, recording 300 yards through the air against Bracken County (2nd Best), and picking up 28 more by land, scoring our second TD from one yard out.   

Tripp Wilson continues to work his way into prime playing form, making 4 receptions for 53 yards.  The Mustangs dominated through the air 300 yards to 107 for Da Bears, who won the overland battle 62 yards to 56 yards.

The Mustangs, now 2-2, will be back on the road next Friday night, invading Carlisle, taking on the 4-0 Nicholas County Blue Jackets.  They own wins over Bellevue, Pendleton County, Lewis County and last night defeated Louisville Iroquois 28-14.  Brossart and Nicholas County have a history.  We lead the overall series 8-7, losing to the Blue Jackets 30-7 a year ago at the MAC.  Previous to last year’s loss, we had won 5 of 6 of our last encounters.
