After Langham Creek came out strong in the sceond half – with Corien Azema scoring a 5 yard rushing touchdown and holding the Cypress Ranch Mustangs to zero points in the 3rd – the Mustangs knew they had to step it up if they wanted to win.

The offense wasn’t the only group helping the ‘Stangs. The game saw senior defensive back, Rance McInnis, turn in (yet another) impressive defensive performance – racking up (a ridiculous) 8 solo tackles and 2 interceptions.

This was a great team win for the Mustangs. Hopefully the boys can bring the same intensity when they face their new rival for the first time – the 2-1 Bridgeland High School Bears. Bridgeland’s starting quarterback, Finn Nicholson, passed for 275 yards and 4 touchdowns in his last outing.
