The locally famous "Rally Rake" wasn't needed for the Roadrunners Friday night, but the proverbial white flag could have been used for the visiting Shenandoah Mustangs as the home team went to the air for two scores on 147 yards. By the time Briar Vogel danced over three or four (depending on your vantage point) would-be tacklers for the final score of 42-0, slinger Tommy Bregar had already hit his favorite target on the night, senior Ryan Deuel for 106 yards on four receptions and added a score.
Not to be outdone by the new "Pistol" look and air attack, the ground game didn't disappoint with 326 yards and four touchdowns. Most of those yards came from senior back Andrew "Mo" Morris with 125 and junior Sam Bedwell with 101. Bedwell also added two touchdowns while Morris and Briar Vogel tacked on one a piece.A gang-tackling defense added three turnovers off Mustang miscues. On the second offensive 
play for the visiting team, the Mustangs were able to rush the ball into the Roadrunner red zone. They were never able to finish the job, however; because on the ensuing snap the ball was plucked away by a Roadrunner defender and recovered by lead tackler on the night Ethan Jones. Jones had 17 tackles on the night followed by Luke Simmerman who added 14 of his own. Only three of the tackles by these defenders were solo tackles leaving this harassing four-four defense unscored upon in the contest. Sophomore Joe Jackson added the icing to this defensive jeweled cake by nabbing an almost perfectly thrown ball late in the game. The shutout sealed an impressive victory and kept the defenses scored upon average below a touchdown as the Roadrunners have only allowed 14 points in three games.
