The game started with a strong performance from Argonaut, who led 10-3 at halftime. The Mustangs showcased their offensive strength, particularly through quarterback Seth Mitchell, who not only threw a touchdown pass but also made a remarkable 62-yard run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, extending their lead to 24-10. Mitchell's performance was pivotal, demonstrating both his passing and rushing capabilities.

Livingston, however, did not back down easily. They fought back in the fourth quarter, scoring two touchdowns, including a crucial one that brought them within a touchdown of Argonaut. The Wolves capitalized on a blocked punt, which set them up for a quick score, narrowing the gap to 24-17 with just over two minutes left in the game.

Despite the pressure, Argonaut maintained composure. In the final moments, Mitchell connected with receiver Mitchell McMahon for a touchdown, sealing the game at 31-17. The Mustangs' defense also played a critical role, making key stops and forcing turnovers, including a significant interception that was unfortunately negated by a roughing the passer penalty.

This victory not only improves Argonaut's record to 1-1 but also boosts team morale as they prepare for their upcoming homecoming game against the Calaveras Red Hawks. The Mustangs will look to build on this momentum and continue their pursuit of success in the season ahead.
