When Hunter Adams and the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs showed up to the Battle for the County 7-on-7 tournament on Thursday night in Wetumpka, they didn’t know what to expect.

With nine starters missing and their third-team emergency quarterback taking snaps, coach Adams and the Mustangs weren’t exactly hopeful. The outcome, however, was far better than they imagined.
