Our Mustangs completed their final pre-season scrimmage, building on the progress made last week when we hosted Boone County.  This week’s opponent were the Scott Eagles, a 5A program, who were coming off of a 3-7 record against big school competition.  The big play of this scrimmage may have come with the coin toss as Brossart won the toss, elected to receive, and then nearly ran out the 10 minute 1st Quarter runing-clock period on offense.  During that timeframe the Mustangs took the opening kick-off and proceeded to march the piggy 61 yards to the 10 yard line before the drive stalled out.  In the process the Mustangs picked up four first downs (Six on the Night), and Landon Spaulding completed a 30 yard pass to Brady Boruske.  The Eagles took possession late in the frame, picking up a single first down before being forced to punt at the ontset of the 2nd period.

In the second frame the big play for Brossart was another 30 yard pass completion from Spaulding to “The Bear” – Quinten Tischner, that picked up our lone first down in the sanza.  Senior Ryan Eldridge .  our soccer keeper, who will play college soccer on scholly, boomed a punt all of the way down to the 1 yard line where the Eagles set up shop, as time expired in the half.

The third period, our final Varsity quarter of the night, saw Brossart pick off two Scott Eagle passes, again limiting their reps.  Landen Ketron and Quinten Tischner were our defenders who made those intercoptions.  Our Mustangs were unable to dent the scoring column, but the unanimous opinion was that it was our Mustangs who would have been awarded a judgement.

Neither JV team was able to generate any momentum in their 8 minute runnng clock skirmish.

This concludes the pre-season.  We will jump into the beginning of the regular season here at home next Friday night at 7:30pm when the Walton-Verona Bearcats come to call at the MAC.
