Everything seemed to be going the Mustangs’ way the afternoon of Nov. 12. The sun was shining; the fans were loud; Mustangs running back Alex Taylor had just scored his third rushing touchdown of the day to give the team a 33-19 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

It’s true what they say about “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”
