22- The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, Ociober 31, 2000 Senior 'Stangs win ugly to finish great regular. season By MURRAY TOWNSEND Special to The Champion You know it's bad when the public address announcer, James (The Foot) Bail, has the game's best performance. You know il's bad sehen the cheerleaders have the second bent performance. You know il's good when the Milton District Mustangs senior football teamn are victorious, but are no longer satisfied with junt winning. Yen, the Mustangs defealed the lowly Lord Elgin Lancers 13-6 10, improve their record to 4-2, but il wsea Coyote Ugly, and the team appeared 10 bie only masquerading as the real Milton District squad, the one that bas played so welI in recent seeks. "We seon on the scoreboard, but bust today," said a disappoint- ed head coach Ed Stavnitzky. He pointed to, "four or fOve stupid penalties, had tackling, and two guys playing and 10 guys stand- ing around seatching." Lots of shortcomnings He might have also mentioned a case of fumbleitis, poor execu- lion on snaps, and dropped halls by receivers. There was clearly a lack of concentration on the Mustangs' part. MD was coming off a big victory lasI seeek and might have expecîrd 10 romp over the Lancers. And the game didn't malter in the standings, as the leurs had secured third place and is set 10, play the sixth place Lancers again ut home in the playoffs this coming Friday. Stavnitzky blamed himnelf for the team's overconfidience.

"Football is 85 percent mental," continued Siavnitzky. "We seeren't mentally sharp today and it showed. If une don't come out and be mentally sharp next week, they'll take il away from us." "Maybe il's a good thing," the coach thought out loud. "It could smarten us up for next week." Indeed, there could be some positive shock value from the end of the game sehen Lord Elgin drove 10, the Milton District tuno- yard line with lime running out and needing a touchdown to lie the gamne. They seere backed up fine yards on an off-side penalty and then the Mustangs gol a huge break when Blair Pocock recovered a fumble that allowed Milton District 10, mn out the dlock. The Mustangs did, after ail, sein the gamne and looked good aI timçs doing il. On one touchdown drive they started from their osen four-yard line and drove the length of the field.
