Panthers stop the Broncos

Playing the Broncos in Mustang the past few years has been anything but pleasant. The Mustang high-powered air assault has humbled many a team.

But on Friday it was the Putnam City North Panthers who were the dominant team. Using a balanced offense - featuring the arm of Matt Veazey and the running of Josh Booker, the Panthers won for the third time in four games this season. More importantly, North is 1-0 in district play.

Musta started the scoring with a long 44-yard field goal off the foot of Brian DiDonato.

Hunter Frantz scored for the Panthers on a 40-yard touchdown run.

In the seocnd period, Veazy finished a PCN drive with a 1-uard touchdown plunge into the end zone - giving North a 14-3 lead, which they would carry into the locker room at halftime.

The teams traded a pair of touchdowns in the final two quarters. Mustang scored firat and last on a pair of Hunter Smith touchdowns - 78 and 13 yards each.

North's scores came from a 28-yard pass from Veazy to sophomore Kevin Cabello and a second  rushing touchdown from Frantz - from the a 7-yard line.

The win improves North's record to 3-1 and 1-0 in district play.

Mustang falls to 1-3 and 0-1.
