HERE IS THE STORY AS I WROTE IT FROM MY NOTES. WHEN THE REPLAY BECOMES AVAILABLE, I WILL EDIT FOR ACCURACY.  

Our Mustangs continue to be blessed by gorgeous fall football weather, as we traveled to Sharp Middle School for our annual renewal of the “Battle of 27,” looking for our ninth consecutive possession of the traveling trophy. 

As predicted, the first quarter was contentious, taking the Mustangs nearly 10 minutes to put numbers on the scoreboard.  The Brady Boruske 3-yard pass reception touchdown finished off a short-field positioning, set up as our defense stopped the Cats, deep in their own territory, unsuccessfully attempting to convert 4^th Down and short, giving the ball to the Mustangs at the PC 24 yard line.  The Mustangs lead was 7-0 when Ryan Eldridge converted his first of five PATs.  It would only take the Wildcats 16 seconds to answer on a 61 yard Bryce Dunn to Gavin Laney pass play, but the two-point conversion went for naught.  The first quarter ended at 14-6 favoring the Mustangs when Atticus Prost intercepted his first varsity pass, and scored his first varsity touchdown on the same play that resulted in the first-quarter score.

It was all Brossart in the second period as we scored twice – a 6 yard run by Landon Spaulding and a Pick 6 by Brady Boruske, making it 28-6. 

It was more of the same in the third quarter as two more scores sent the contest to a no-contest running-clock 41-6 event.  The first Brossart score was set up by a patened Ben D’Alessandro on-side kick, which he recovered, setting up a 53 yard scoring drive topped off by a Landon Spaulding to Brady Boruske aerial, and after a trio of turnovers, Atticus Prost scored the second Pick 6 of the game and of his career with 2:13 remaining in what would be the game when the fourth quarter turned ugly, and the Cats became flagged for double-figure Unsportsmanlike Conduct flags.  The game was halted with 4:08 left on the clock, as the Mustangs improved to 6-4, and will prepare for Dayton in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs next Friday in Alexandria.

Sophomore Atticus Prost was named the Play of the Game.
