It was redemption night for the CCMS Mustangs as they butted heads with the Bears of Summersville. The Mustangs continued their dominating ground-and-pound style of football by defeating the Summersville Bears with a score of 24-6.
When these two teams met last season, it spelled disaster for the Mustangs. Not this year, however; this time it was all Mustangs. The Mustangs’ ground game, combined with superb blocking from the front line, took the game to the next level. The Bears just couldn’t overcome the push of the Mustangs.
The Mustangs came into this game off a tough win against Braxton. A win here would give them some great momentum going into next week’s gameagainst Richwood. The Mustangs got on the boards quick in the first quarter by scoring 16 points and making a statement.
Once again, the offensive line of the Mustangs controlled the defensive line of the Bears and opened up some big holes for running back Elijah Payton. Payton moved the ball down the field and kept the Bears defense guessing.
Grant Krajeski is at the helm as quarterback for the Mustangs. He makes very few mistakes and has a good arm in the pocket or on the run. Mustang offense has a good arsenal and can beat anybody. Summersville and Braxton are generally the ones to beat during the football season, and the Mustangs have soundly beaten them both. There are still a lot of games left before the championship and nary a one will not be taken lightly.
This night, however, wasn’t just about the offense – the defense had game as well. The defense held the Bears offense to nothing until late in the fourth quarter when they scored six points. Mustang defense proved once again that if you’re going to run against them, be prepared to lose. The Mustangs go up against Richwood this Thursday night at Richwood, game time 6 p.m.
