give the Mustangs a 42-0
lead. The Cougars scored a
touchdown late in the forth
quarter to make the final
score 42-6.
The Mustangs had 344
total yards o f offense for the
game and held the Cougars
to just 62. Clark was 25-34
in passing for 276 yards,
with six touchdowns and
two interceptions. Bailey
led all receivers will 83
yards, followed by Jaden
Orr with 52, Putman 46 and
Brian Rill with 40. Many
others players had catches
