26-Tht Canadian Champion, Friday, November 16, 2001 Ji"* Mustangs blanked in tier two semifinals By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion No home-field advantage - no victory. Milton District igh's junior football team was dogged by that reality throughout regular season play, and couldn't quise shake it for the tier two semnifmnals at Burlingson Central November 8. An unproductive start and ill-timed penalties once again conspired against the visitors, who were stoned 15-O. The Mustangs won ail four gamtes on home turf this year, but just couldn't pro- duce offensively on hostile ground. That trend continued during the fmnal four round, when the local juniors shot themnselves in the foot during a handful of second-hall scoring chances - including a couple of touchdown pisys that were called back due to illegal proceduse. "Every troc we gosrtme momensum going penalties ssopped us," said skipper Richard Grant, whose team mncluded juat one resurning starter as bis position this past season. "Maybe it was something about the road, because we sure sbowed up for our home games." MD's coach praised quarterback Jay Price and rusher Ryan Wildfang for bat- tling it out until the bitter end. Wildfang, hie said, fought for several impressive gains and secured one of the two negated majors in the closing moments of play. Remnarked Grant, "Ryan was breaking for seven, eight, nine-yard carnies near the end. He just wouldn't quit." Price connccted with receiver ion Van Es for the other called-back touchdown. Burlington Central's scoring was done on its firat two possessions - the latter of wbich was made possible by a costly fum- ble. Tbe Trojans broke for a huge carry on third-and-five to set up their initial major. Defensively, MID enjoyed a number of above-par performances down the stretch whicb kept hopes for a rally alive. "They (Burlington Central) were just more prepared than us," said Grant. -IE.C. Drury alumni shine E.C.
