The Mustangs wrapped up their 2025 football season with a 3–5 record, falling just short of a playoff spot. While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, this season was filled with determination, growth, and heart.
Our team battled hard through every game and showed incredible resilience, even as we faced multiple injuries along the way. Every player stepped up, giving their best effort and representing Mustang Pride with toughness and teamwork.
A huge thank-you goes out to Coach Rumpza, Coach Colby, Coach Mark, and Coach Dylan for their leadership and dedication to our program.
We also want to extend a sincere thank you to our families, fans, and community for your unwavering support throughout the season. Your cheers in the stands, encouragement, and belief in our players meant the world to our team.
