In the Malta Mustang's home opener, it was supposed to be a clash of Mustangs as the team took on the Shepherd Mustangs last Friday in the team's Homecoming game.

The Malta Mustangs won their first playoff game since missing the playoffs last year. Though many doubted the Mustangs would make it this far, Malta has silenced the doubters defeating Roundup for the second time this year, winning a 20-17 thriller, that featured a stingy Malta defense, who didn't give up many big plays and for the most part were disciplined against the counter plays Roundup does so well. "It all started with our coaching staff, they taught us how to read the play," senior runni...

Lightning struck on Wednesday evening in Malta, both literally and figuratively. Heading into halftime of Malta's game against the Wolves, bolts of lightning ripped through the night's sky – touching down under a mile away from Mustang Field – extending the intermission by 30 minutes due to safety concerns.

From this point every week counts for the young Malta Mustangs who will take on their first conference opponents, the Plentywood Wildcats in Plentywood this Friday.

There has been a long wait to see who would take the reigns as Malta's Head Football Coach after Tad Schye stepped down from the position, last winter.

Last week former standout coach and current Malta Athletic Director Scott King, informed Nick Oxarart, a player he coached, that he is Malta's newest head coach. Nick Oxarart, will be...
