The first league game of the year was also the Homecoming game for the team. A slow start by both teams led to a first quarter in which there were several defensive stands and punts. It was a quarter o f field position and, as the quarter ended, the Mustangs got the ball at their own 46- yard line to start the second quarter. A big run by Jordan Bailey set up the Mustangs’ first score. A five-yard touchdown run and PAT run by Weston Putm an made the score 8-0.
