Face Clarke County Tonight Away

By Charlotte Volpe (October 27, 2006)

The Mustangs continued their winning ways in the Bull Run District, improving their district record to 2-0 with a 36-7 victory over Rappahannock County High School last Saturday away.

The Mustangs started their offense early with a 1-yard touchdown run by senior Eddie Huber, and sophomore Antoneo Folks rushed for a 2-point conversion to make it 8-0 early. Folks rushed a touchdown of his own later in the first quarter from 2 yards out, and senior Ben Zorn booted the extra point to make it 15-0 Mustangs. During the second quarter, junior quarterback Mike Schwengel connected with fellow sophomore Joel Chandler on an 11-yard touchdown pass, and another Ben Zorn extra point made it 22-0 Mustangs at the half.

During the third quarter, the Mustangs scored two more rushing touchdowns, one by Huber from 18 yards out and another by Folks from 32 yards out. The Panthers did score once, on a 42-yard pass play during the fourth quarter, but they never really threatened after that.

The Mustangs’ next game is tonight at Clarke County High School. Their final home game of the regular season is on Friday, November 3, versus Manassas Park High School.
