(Santa Fe Springs)\u2013 <\/strong>The Muir Mustangs displayed speed on offense and toughness on defense in a 39-7 drubbing over the host Santa Fe Chiefs at Pioneer High School Friday night.<\/p>\n Joshua Muema-washington was on point with the passing game (11-17-214 yards) throwing for four touchdowns of 27, 69, 12 and 37-yards. Having seen limited action since a car accident after the Hoover game on 10\/14 it was a welcome presence for the Mustangs.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll go as far as Josh takes us. Josh is our quarterback. With him, we have a good shot at any game. Tonight, well, he was fantastic,\u201d Muir head coach David Mitchell said.<\/p>\n From the outset it was clear that the Mustangs had the better athletes on the field. Muema-washington found receiver Lamarr McDaniels for Muir\u2019s first score going 27-yards on a pass play where McDaniels simply burned the Chiefs secondary.<\/p>\n Santa Fe elected to punt on fourth and long on its ensuing drive. Kevon Seymour fielded the punt with the gunner in his face and did an absolutely ridiculous spin-move to shake him, Seymour then burst up the field juking another defender and cut across the field breaking a third and then a fourth tackle on his way to an electric 60-yard punt return for the score.<\/p>\n Midway through the second quarter the Mustangs opened up another possession at its own 31. Muema-washington fired a pass into coverage for Seymour. Seymour caught it in stride, juked both defenders and jetted to the endzone putting Muir up 18-0.<\/p>\n Santa Fe answered right back and was able to score on a long touchdown of its own when sophomore quarterback Justin Retiz found Joey Davis for a 67-yard score tightening it up at 18-7.<\/p>\n That was as close as the Chiefs would get as the Mustangs\u2019 offense continued to display its team speed. The defense stifled Santa Fe forcing five turnovers; two interceptions, two fumbles and a muffed punt.<\/p>\n Seymour finished with two scores through the air in addition to his punt return gaining over 150 all-purpose yards.<\/p>\n Next week Muir (7-4) will face Diamond Ranch (6-5).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Johnathan Saller (Santa Fe Springs)\u2013 The Muir Mustangs displayed speed on offense and toughness on defense in a 39-7 drubbing over the host Santa Fe Chiefs at Pioneer High School Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20360"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20419,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20360\/revisions\/20419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
