Rough Start, Strong Finish
WOS QB Jack Dallas calls his own number on a fourth down play from the 18 in the second half as the Mustangs rolled the Silsbee Tigers 51-2.

It would be the closest Silsbee would come to scoring because in the second half the Mustang D held the Tigers to minus four yards and no first downs.
