The Staley Mustangs 8th Grade Football White Team traveled to Hebron High School to take on the Killian Mustangs, who wore blue jerseys. The Staley Mustangs team exploded for a fantastic win with score of 26-15.

 Killian got the ball first and made the most of it.   They used a good running game to move down the field and into the end zone for the score.  The PAT was good and the Killain Mustangs got the first score on the board leading Staley 7-0.

The Staley Mustangs proved that they were equally strong.  The running back duo of #25 and #21 were the engines of the Staley Mustang's well-oiled offense machine.  The Staley Mustangs answered the Killian score with a great drive down the field.  The Staley Mustangs drove down the field and handed off to #21 on the three yard line.  While  pushing his way into the end zone, the ball popped out and bounced on the ground, past a couple of Killian players, into the end zone and was finally cover by  a Staley player for the score. The PAT was a hand off to #21 who ran it into the corner of the end zone for the two point conversion.  The Mustangs had the lead 8-7, at the very start of the second quarter.

The Staley defense stopped the Killian offense and took over on downs.  Number 25 took the ball to the outside and down the far sideline for a 40 yard bolt and into the end zone for the six points.   The Mustang PAT attempt failed, but the Mustangs had the lead 14-7. 

The Killian offense put a good drive on, moving the ball down the field as the half drew to a close.  With the ball on the sixteen yard line and under thirty seconds left in the half, the Killian quarterback took to the air.  The Staley Mustang defense was tough, causing three incompletions.  Killian's last hope to score before the half was diminished when #4 jumped up and reach his hand in between the receiver and the ball, the ball hit the receivers shoulder pads and the ball, and both players landed on the ground in the end zone.  The Mustang defense put the clamps down and did not allow the other Mustangs any room to breathe.  The Staley Mustangs had a 14-7 half time lead.

The Staley Mustangs got the ball at the beginning of the second half.  The Staley boys made easy work, using the running game to move the ball.  Number 21 got a hand off at the 30 yard line and stampeded into the end zone to put the Staley Mustangs ahead 20-7 after a  failed PAT.

The Killian Mustangs had success moving the ball down the field, eating up small chunks of real estate slowly.  The had moved the ball all the way to inside the ten yard line, when the quarterback toss the ball into the end zone and Staley #11 intercepted denying the other Mustangs a score.  

Staley took over and three plays later, a hand off to #25 had him scoring the final touchdown on a 65 yard stomp.  The PAT kick was just to the left of the upright.  The Staley Mustangs had a lead of 26-7.
