Nicholas County scores and goes up by 1 by converting a 2 point conversion late in the 4th quarter to go up 15-14. But Brossart kicks a FG to seal the win and end Nicholas County’s unbeaten season. 17-15.

A great team effort win on the road in Carlisle.  

On paper we looked anemic coming into this one, while Nicholas County hadn't had a close game, averaging 41 a game, but while our Mustangs had offensive outputs of 0, 3, 11, and 10 among our six outings, our defense had also limited our opponents to games of 18, 7, 8, and 9.  Our hope coming into this game was that our defense could keep the Blue Jackets in range, and that our makeshift quarterback, Senior Austin Schadler, who had now had a game and two weeks of practice under his belt, might be able to generate enough offense for us to have a chance to win.   They did, and he did.  

In a game which saw 23 possession changes, early on it looked like Nicholas might run roughshod over us, coming up with a 74 yard run by Alex Roeder in their first series, which resulted in a Tate Letcher touchdown.  When the PAT was good, the Jackets led 7-0 with little over four minutes expired in the game.  That would be the first quarter score.  With the Jackets deep in their own territory, Nate Heck intercepted a Letcher pass at the 3 yard line, setting up a Tyler Holtz one yard plunge, and when Tyler Smith split the uprights, we were knotted up at 7s at intermission.

There were six possession changes in the third quarter with neither team threatening to score.  However in the final stanza, Schadler connected with Sam Willike for a 42 yard touchdown and Smith again added the PAT, giving the Mustangs a 14-7 lead with 5:18 remaining in the game.  On the ensuing Nicholas County possession, with a touchback and a 10yard mark off, the Jackets found themselves at their own 10 yard line, 90 yards away from pay dirt., but with 1:59 remaining in the game, when Letcher hit Andrew Watkins for a touchdown, and were successful on a 2-Point conversion, it appeared that the Jackets would dodge the Mustang bullet and remain unbeaten.

Brossart took over at our own 31 yard line, and, assisted by a roughing our quarterback 15 yard award, we were able to march the piggy to the 7 yard line where we allowed the clock to run down to 3 seconds, when Tyler Smith, for the second time this season, hit the game winner, this one from 22 yards out and the Mustangs went up a game in the district seeding race.  Our Mustangs have now won two walk-off wins and a one point win a week ago.   Wins are wins and we are happy to have them.

Mustangs improve to 5-2 on the season and will host district foe Bracken County, 14-8 losers to Paris tonight, next Friday night in Alexandria. 

 

 

I feel like, per capita, more Brossart fans have to take blood pressure medicine than any team in the state. Every weekend their game comes right down to the wire! Good win, Mustangs!

Nice win Brossart! Defense getting it done. Coach showed a lot of confidence in his kicker letting the clock run down before the field goal.
