After an unexpected home game last week, the Wekiva High School Mustang Football team goes back on the road tonight to face The University High School Cougars in a non-conference game at 7PM.
The Mustangs (1-1) are hoping to build off of last week's win against Boone High School. The Mustangs beat the Braves 28-21 after losing to Dr. Phillips 28-7 in the season opener.
That game was scheduled to be played at Boone High School, but field's conditions following Hurricane Hermine caused it to be moved to Wekiva High. But a lightning storm in Apopka delayed the start, however the Mustangs kept their composure and secured their first win of the season. Wekiva jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead and held on to defeat the Braves 28-21.
The Mustangs were led by workhorse running back Jaylon Fair with 28 carries, 169 yards and 2 touchdowns. Wekiva totaled 252 total yards on the night, including 193 yards on the ground.
The Cougars (0-2) are looking to get their first win after losses to East River (20-6) and Evans (34-12) to open the season.
The Mustangs return home next Friday night, September 16th to face Timber Creek High School. Game time is 7PM.
