Area action: Uhlenhopp leads the way for Mustangs in 42-0 romp

The Mustangs needed just four plays and one minute, 19 second, to score the first points of the night. They then forced a turnover on the Indians' next possession, taking over at their own 10-yard line.

PCM couldn't do much on its next possession on offense, but the defense forced a turnover on downs a couple minutes later, giving the Mustangs the ball at their own 40-yard line. Uhlenhopp carried the ball twice, taking it down to the Clarke 15, setting up the second scoring run of the night for Blake McWilliams on the very next play.

The extra point kick was blocked and the ensuing kickoff went out of bounds. Clarke opted for a re-kick and took over at its own 41. On the very next play, however, Ethan Kain picked off a Rich Wilkins pass at the Mustang 33.

Three plays later, Uhlenhopp marched in from 12 yards out, then converted a two-point pass to Jade Coleman on a fake kick to make the score 21-0 with less than eight seconds to play in the first quarter. After forcing Clarke to punt on its next possession, Kain returned the ensuing punt to the Indians' 41.

Two minutes later, Uhlenhopp connected with Neff to make the score 28-0.

Midway through the second quarter, Wilkins attempted a quarterback keeper up the middle, gaining five yards for Clarke. But, he was injured on the play and was forced to leave the game. Logan Weers took the snap on the next play, then Brett Moffett went under center for the Indians.

A short time later, on a third-and-9 from the Clarke 41, Coleman picked off a Moffett pass and returned it to the Mustang 39. But three plays later, Uhlenhopp's pass intended for Kain was picked off by an Indian defender at the Clarke 5.
