Last Friday, the Musketeers traveled north to play the Indians of Carlyle in the first conference game of the season. Carlyle is 3-0, and the boys looked to end their perfect season.
Not a lot of action in the first quarter from either team, as it was 0-0 after one quarter. Landon Ruebusch found Brayden Schlesinger in the end zone for 6; the extra point was good as well. Brayden Koester tried kicking a 54-yarder but just missed it. Carlyle matched that with a touchdown of their own and a 2-point conversion to take the lead at half, 8-7.
