Unfortunately for Sheridan, hitting that 60-mark was not meant to be as Natrona County cruised to an unexpected 38-0 win over the visiting Broncs.

The Mustangs scored twice in the third quarter, pushing their lead up to 31, and if there were any doubts entering the fourth, they tacked on one more touchdown to cap off an emphatic win. With Sheridan's loss, Carl Albert (OK) now leads the nation with the second-longest winning streak. The Titans escaped Friday night with a 17-16 win over Guthrie (OK) to extend their streak to 58 games, tying Bixby
