Having trounced the Clarke County
Eagles 24-7 in Saturday’s annual homecoming game, the Mustangs, 6-2, 2-0
in the district, are preparing for tonight’s biggest match up against the
Manassas Park Cougars away at 7:30.
The Cougars are defending district
champions. "This is an absolute must win for us," said senior linebacker
Phill Blush.

Last Saturday, the Mustangs
took an early first quarter lead when junior Steve Williams ran into the
end zone to score the first of his three touchdowns. Senior kicker Peter
Dittmar added the extra point putting Mason on top, 7-0. The Eagles quickly
responded by doing the same and tying the game before the end of the quarter.
Five minutes into the second quarter,
Williams scored again and Dittmar again was successful for the Mustangs;
George Mason led 14-7.
Deep into the third quarter Williams
scored for the third time and Dittmar again added to the lead, making it
21-7. Minutes later, Dittmar added the final three points for George Mason
when the Mustangs recovered and the Eagles fumbled from within the 30 yard-line.
Leading, the Mustangs held on for
the remainder of the fourth quarter and won their annual homecoming game
24-7. |
Senior
Matt Williams, number 56, ran the opening
kickoff of the
second half back 35 yards last
Saturday against
Clarke County, setting up a
touchdown by his
brother Steven. The Mustangs
won 24-7 and take
on Manassas Park tonight at
7:30 in a key Bull
Run District matchup.
