Mike Bergstrom, with Matt

On the following play the
Mustangs kicked, off to the

The gun sounded ending the
half, with the score 21-7 in
favor of the Mustangs.
Midway through the third
quarter Thurman, Rockets,
broke loose for a TD on a 58
yard run. Krosting added the

Mustang lead 21-14.
The Mustangs had trouble
moving the ball, and on 2nd

the Rockets had the ball on the
Mustang 31 yard line. With 3rd
and 15, the Mustangs were

Rockets 1st and 10 on the 15

Ray Cate. Pony speedster, broke loose and ran 71
yards for a TD against Stanfield last Thursday. Cate
scored four TDs for his team. Although it appears that
the referee is helping the cause by holding off the
opponents and allowing Cate to score, he was only
trying to get out of the way!

The Rockets moved the ball
to the one foot line and on the
third attempt the Rockets
scored. Krosting added the
PAT and the ball game was
tied 21-21, as the quarter
ended.
The fourth quarter started
with both teams battling for
position and the chance to
break the tie. With 4th and 33
the Mustangs went into punt
formation. Boyer got a low
pass from center and tried to
run. He was tackled after
picking up 12 yards, short of
the first down, and the
Rockets took over the ball on
the 35 yard line.
The Rockets tried to move
the ball, but two 15 yard
penalties set them back inside
their own territory. With 39
seconds left to play in the
game, Heppner intercepted a
pass, giving them possession
and a chance to break the tie.
A Gentry to Boyer pass was
good for a first down and it
seemed as though the Mus
tangs were on their way.
