I was back on the sideline on Friday (Sept. 23) at E.M. Bud Cole
Field in Morrison as the host Mustangs played the previously winless Sherrard
Tigers. I have a lot of memories from covering the Mustangs for the last 18 years.
One of my first preseason football assignments I received was
doing a preview for the 2005 version of the Mustangs. I vaguely remember the Mustangs
were coming off a couple down seasons and looking to turn it around. Morrison
made the playoffs in 2005 starting the Mustangs ascension to a state power by
the end of the 2000s. I covered their state championship win over Maroa-Forsyth
in 2009 and designed the section for their state championship in 2011. I was at
their classic postseason quarterfinal matchups with Newman in 2010 and 2011.
The current team entered Friday’s game with a 2-2 record,
but the story turned out to be Sherrard, which scored late to break a 13-game losing
streak with a 26-22 win. The Mustangs must win three of their last four games
to become playoff eligible.
