Zero, zilch, goose egg, and of course, nada are all possible words to describe zero . Usually, zero is the last thing any
team wants to achieve unless it's the opponent who achieves that result. Then , the score goes from being an epitome of
failure to an emblem of perfection. Such as Sept. 29 when the reserve team blanked the Burke Bulldogs 47-0.
"We were pumped up as that was a big rival and we creamed them ," sophomore Kevin Bang said.

Yet, the tempo for the game was set even before the Mustangs took the field . As a strong week of practices had the
team feeling confident going into the game.
"Practice was really good as our guys worked hard all week. We were beating them from the beginning of the game and
pretty much dominated them [from then on]," head coach Brad Edmundson said .

The rout of the Bulldogs took hold early as the Mustangs started the dismantling by scorching Burke for two quick touch-
downs to start the game.
"That second drive showed us that the first wasn't a fluke. We were able to drive down and physically dominate them,"
sophomore Seth Houfek.

The defense was key aspect of the Mustangs' attack as they held Burke to just 34 yards of total offense closing out the
shutout.
" I was glad we shut them out and it was great to see our second team step-up," sophomore Sidney Sheppard
said.

The final score, 47-0, illuminated the scoreboard on Burke's home field. After losing to Burke last year, the Mustangs
enacted their revenge in glorious fashion and 'O'h, what a win it was.
