I'm an Atascadero native but I go to school at SDSU, so either way the game went I was happy. I have to give props to the Mustang maniacs that showed up at the Q. It had to be one of the loudest visiting sections I've seen at an Aztec game. There was a pretty good size student section from Poly. Also, good job to the Mustang band, that helped hype up the crowd. It's a small band but they are good. Nice job Mustangs!!
