Out for the coin toss were Captains #15 Michael Costner, #20 Brandon Tallent, #27 Taylor Watson, and #54 Robert Buss. Vonore won the coin toss and deferred until the second half. The Big Red Mustangs opened on offense. However the first period ended scoreless. In a tight game, Loudon was able to break the goal line midway through the second period. #21 Trey Horton powered in from the one yard line. The clock showed 7:02 left in the first half.

The back breaker came as Vonore kicked off to start the second half. Receiving the kick on the 40 yard line, #20 Brandon Tallent was off to the races! 60 yards later he was standing alone in the end zone. That took the wind out of the Blue Devils’ sails. After a defensive stop, #30 Trey Townson completed the Mustang scoring on a four yard dive.

Although they didn’t pitch a shutout, as a unit the Mustangs defense recovered two fumbles and forced an interception. Top defenders were #9 Sam Eldridge with four tackles and #55 Jonathan “Cheese Curl” Dorsett and #21 Trey Horton posted three stops each.

Total offense was 232 yards. Rushing accounted for 147 yards on 28 attempts for two touchdowns and one 2-point conversion. Special teams added 85 yards and one touchdown on two kick-off returns.
