St. Vital Mustangs ride unbeaten streak to a championship
By Corey Weir
The St. Vital Mustangs won the Atom championship by a score of 47-16 over the Greendell Falcons Sunday morning at Investors Group Field. The Atom game was part of Football Manitoba’s two-day Championship Weekend event.
Mustangs quarterback Morgan Lawson was the standout on offence, guiding the team to several scoring drives.
The last time the Mustangs won in the Atom division was back in 2011, when interestingly enough Lawson’s brother was at the helm for the Mustangs. The standout player for the Falcons today was linebacker Hugh Montgomery.
The Mustangs were dominant from the opening whistle, leading at the half by a score of 38-8. The Mustangs high-powered offence could do no wrong, scoring in many different ways, most notably from the arm of Lawson.
“This was my first time ever winning,” said quarterback Lawson. “Last year we didn’t do so well, but this year I’m pretty happy about making it this far.”
The second half proved to be much of the same, as the Mustangs were the first team to score after the half, making it 44-8 for the Herd. They added three more points to the board in the win.
“Great game today, they played hard like every game, (it was a) team effort,” said St. Vital Mustangs head coach Andrew Lawson. “We practice three days a week, the boys come out, they listen, great coaching staff, great organization.”
