They blew past the Riverside Panthers 49-0. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee football rankings (they are ranked 73rd, while the Panthers are ranked 254th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Kenton Smith and Zayden Connelly. Smith rushed for 19 yards and one TD while Connelly picked up 80 receiving yards and one score. K'Shun Carter got in on the action as well, returning a kick for a touchdown.

The Mustangs have been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.64 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.64 in their last three games.
