The SEM Mustangs improved to 10-0 on the season and advanced to the state semifinals in six man football with a 50-26 win over Shelton in the state quarterfinals on Friday. SEM scored on seven of their first eight possessions. The Mustangs established the run game in the first half as Grayden Anderson had two 6 yard touchdown runs and Kellen Eggleston had touchdown runs of 13 and 3 yards. In the second half, it was the passing game that accounted for SEM’s points as Noah Eggleston threw three touchdown passes to three different receivers. Eggleston connected with Maddox Jones on a 17 yard touchdown pass, threw a 38 yard TD pass to Ryan Arbuthnot and connected with Cohen Rohde on a 15 yard touchdown pass. Unofficially, SEM finished with 433 total yards including 291 rushing yards and 142 yards passing. SEM advances to a state football semifinal for the first time since 1992 when they finished the season as the Class D2 state runner-up. The Mustangs will be on the road as they will travel to face Parkview Christian who defeated Red Cloud 54-32. This will be a rematch as the two teams met back in week three of the season with SEM winning 20-16. The game will take place next Friday November 11 with kickoff time yet to be determined. The game will be broadcast on KBBN 95.3 FM and on kbbn.com. On the other side of the six man bracket, Pawnee City upset #3 seed and undefeated Potter Dix 62-47 and Arthur County defeated Hay Springs 48-13.
