THE REPLAY IS NOW UP
Technical difficulties from 6:08 through 11:24
On what started as a perfect night for football, and a perfect night for our Mustangs kicking off the Jake Martin era, we cruised to a 21-0 first quarter lead. Just a it appeared that this one would come easy, things turned a bit ugly as a black cloud rolled in and hovered over the MAC. In addition to a steady 30 minute rain, it brought with it the bad luck associated with black clouds and black cats. Momentum jumped into a Walton uniform as they inaugurated a 79 yard touchdown drive that began in the waning minutes of the first quarter and ended in the endzone 10 minutes later with 4:28 remaining in the half, and we hadn’t touched the ball in the period as of yet. When we did, we were ineffective and turned it over on downs twice, and with under a minute to play in the half, aided by a 15-yard flag, the Bearcats scored again to cut the Mustangs lead to 21-14, and suddenly this one didn’t look like the sure thing that it did back in the opening stanza.
Things continued to deteriorate as the Bearcats, who received the ball to start the second half, got a great kick-off return to the Brossart 40 and finished it off a few plays later. Their two-point conversion attempt went for naught, BUT Hold The Phone, there was a flag on the play, and the new life allowed the visitors to punch it in this time, taking a 22-21 lead as the Mustang faithful sat stunned as to what was transpiring.
On our final possession of the 3rd Quarter we posed a major threat, advancing the football to the 14 yard line before seeing it fizzle out. However, Soccer/Football Senior Ryan Eldridge was in Field Goal range and delivered a 29 yard conversion to give the Stangs the lead back at 24-22 with 12 minutes remaining in the game. The Mustang defense resurfaced in the fourth quarter stymieing the Cats on all three of their possessions that included a Brady Boruske interception along with two turnovers on downs. Meanwhile, the Mustangs put together a 58yard drive resulting in Landon Spaulding finding Quinten Tischner in the endzone, giving the home team some breathing room, and securing the 30-22 victory.
For his efforts, Senior Brady Boruske was tabbed our Player of the Game being on the receiving end of a 36 yard Landon Spaulding aerial, and followed it up with a 59 yard touchdown reception. In the pivotal third quarter, Boruske carried the piggy from our 47 yard line to the 26 yard line of Walton, followed by a 15 yard tack-on. He also made a late-game inerception that snuffed out a Bearcat drive.
It was Bentley McKinzie who got the scoring underway in the first quarter, rambling 9 yards to paydirt givng the Mustangs a 7-0 lead, when Ryan Eldridge split the uprights for the “And One.” Spaulding hit Brady Boruske on a 57 yard pass play for our second score, plus an Eldridge PAT, and Landen Ketron intercepted a Braxton Parr pass and took it to the house for a Pick Six, making it 21-0 Mustangs after one. We would not score again until late in the third frame when Eldridge knocked home a 29yard Field Goal, and then in the fourth, Spaulding found Quinn Tischner in the endzone for an 11 yard trophy toss, giving the Mustangs the final score of 30-22. There were many other notable contributions, especially on defense, where Quinten Tischner teamed up with Beckett Meersman, Justin Bezold and Landen Ketron who all made some big defensive stops. We are blessed to have ahistory of great kickers,andd Ryan Eldridge picked up right where Max Runge left off a year ago, nailing his first three PAT attempts and hitting a 29 yard Field Goal.
The Mustangs will travel to Sayre in Lexington next Friday night where we will play the Past Class 1A State Champs for the fourth time. Sayre leads the series 2-1, having lost to us 21-3 back in 2019, and defeating us 20-13 in 2020, and 8-5 in 2025.
