Darnell Wright sent Shemar Stewart to the afterlife on 4th and 1 and took a teammate with him at the end.

Burford welcome back

As many know now Thomas Jefferson is moving in a different direction and I no longer will be their HC. I will still run all recruiting for our ‘26 guys; but will now be looking for a home as a WR Coach, Pass Game Coordinator, or whatever other role would be needed! #KeepGoing

As many know, Thomas Jefferson is moving on from our coaching staff and I will no longer be their OC. I will always cherish my time with these kids and coaches. With that, I’m now looking for opportunities as an OC, OL or DL Coach or any other role. DMs are Open! #GodsPlanNotOurs

Week 9 vs CR Kennedy

After a great conversation with @Coach_LopezECC I’m blessed to receive my 8th offer to play college football!!! @dcgfootball @CoachGrothoff

The 2025 season came to an end tonight but what a run it was. A season of firsts and unknowns when it started but we discovered who we were and it was an amazing journey! Proud doesn’t do it justice on how we feel about this group! Thank you Mustangs for the ride! 🐴🏈| EAT

2-7 last year to 7-3 and a playoff appearance in our first year in 5A. Fortunate to have coached this group of seniors the past two seasons and excited about our future!

2025 Football team. What a great first year in 5A. We will be back for more. Thank you seniors for your leadership!
