The Staley Mustangs 7th Grade Football White Team played a great game against the Hebron Wranglers.  The Mustangs started out strong, taking the kick off back to almost mid-field.   On third down, the quarterback toss to #9 in the backfield, who had great blocking at the line and was able to turn up the sideline to take it to the house for the touchdown.  After a PAT kick, the Mustangs were on the board first 8-0.  

The Mustangs dominated the line on defense, they drove back the Wranglers on three straight plays forcing a punt.  The Mustangs got the ball back and proceeded to steadily march down the field, with a strong running game, lead by #9 and #13.  Number 8 came in to the game, to take over at quarterback and ran a sweep on his first play, running it the 30 yards for the score.  The Mustang cheers were shored  lived, as the touchdown was negated by a holding penalty.  However, the Staely boys scored two plays later when #9 ran to the far sideline and in for the score. The  PAT was good and the Mustangs took a 16-0 lead. After stopping the Wranglers on three downs, the running back escaped through the Mustangs defense and was finally knocked out of bounds, on the 40 yard line as the buzzer for half time sounded.  At the break, the Mustangs were in front by the score of 16-0. 

The Wranglers received the kick off in the second half, and did manage to get a first down before the Mustang defense shut them down.   Staley took over on their own thirty yard line, for their first possession of the second half.   The Mustangs had an incomplete pass,  a tackle in the backfield and a run on third down that left them with fourth and five, so the Mustangs opted to punt.

The Mustangs shut down the Wranglers again, to get one more possession on offense.        The Mustangs gained some yardage with their running game, but the drive stalled out before getting in the end zone.  The Wranglers got the ball, and tried one last time to move the ball down the field to get anywhere near the red zone. They completed a 25 yard pass, moving them down to the Mustang 40 yard line,  before the Mustangs ended their hopes of a score by sacking the quarterback for a loss to end the game.  The Mustangs hung on for a 16-0 win.

Congratulations Mustangs on a  convincing win on your last regular season game.  The Mustang 7th Grade Football White Team finished the season with a 5-1-1 record.   Way to go Mustangs!!
