After playing toe-to-toe with West Laurens during a scoreless 20-plus minutes to start the game, the Mustangs were buried with an avalanche of big plays. The Raiders scored 13 points in the final 3:21 of the second quarter and tallied three touchdowns in the third period en route to a 34-2 victory that dropped the Mustangs to 0-4.
