After the game Mustang coach Trent Dilfer said “Last year on this date, August 27th, we experienced extreme highs and extreme lows on the road vs JP2. 365 days later this tribe has completely transformed. The growth in their minds, their bodies, and their souls has been remarkable to witness and it’s only to keep getting better. We’ve only played 96 minutes of football, a lot more still to go. We’re ready to start region play with Goodpasture.’
The Mustangs travel to Goodpasture for their next game 7:00 PM Friday, September 3.
