Small 56K Large DSL/Cable

The Mustangs' convincing victory over the Chargers demonstrated that McArthur is quietly becoming an elite football power in the BCAA. The Mustangs won their fourth game in a row and now sit atop their district with a 5 – 1 overall record.

Mustang’s quarterback Carlton Bowe put his name in the record books by throwing the longest pass in BCAA history. Backed up on their one-yard line, Bowe hit a streaking Bryan Graham for a 99-yard score. This bold call came after two consecutive Mustang penalties – a false start and a delay of game. No one in the crowd or in a Charger uniform expected McArthur coach Keith Franklin to call for the bomb in that situation.

Bowe threw only four passes completing three for 191 yards. Bowe sealed the Mustang win in the fourth quarter by completing a 48-yard touchdown pass to Devon Okafor.

Mustang running back Emmanuel Cruz led a spirited running attack, gaining 174 yards on 18 carries. Cruz showed that the Mustang running attack did not lose a step with the graduation of All-County back David Robinson.

The McArthur defense, led by linebacker, Tayari Jones held the Charger offense to seven points. The Charger offense did themselves in with penalties – they had two touchdowns called back due to motion penalties.
