It
was another game ending in a home loss for Apex (1-4) last Friday as the Middle
Creek Mustangs (3-2) claimed a 21-7 win. It was the fourth straight loss for
Apex and the first win for Middle Creek who came off a road loss to undefeated
Wakefield.
The
Mustangs got off to a quick start and moved the ball in a hurry, scoring
touchdowns on each of their first three possessions. However, Apex managed to
strike back near the end of the second quarter when sophomore quarterback Ian
Boyd ran the ball for an 84 yard touchdown, giving the Cougars some momentum
going into the second quarter.
After
halftime, the Cougar defense adjusted and played well, not giving up a single
point in the entire second half. “It was part halftime adjustments,” said Apex
head coach Joe Kilby. “But from a coaching perspective, it was the players and
their raw determination.” Unfortunately, the offense failed to score in the
half as well.
The
Cougars travel to Fuquay-Varina this week to face the 3-2 Bengals. Their next
home game is homecoming versus Athens Drive on October 11.
