Mitchell took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Saturday. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 44-0 victory over the Hamilton Wildcats. The Tigers haven't had any issues with the Wildcats recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive win against them.

A big part of Mitchell's victory came down to the chemistry between Raoul Jones and his top target Julius Drain. Jones threw for 112 yards and a pair of touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes while Drain picked up 66 receiving yards and two TDs. The dominant performance also gave Jones a new career-high in passer rating (156.3).

Mitchell's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB five times. That dominant display was truly a team effort as four different players picked up one apiece. They got some further help from Caleve Guy: he picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made eight total tackles.

Mitchell didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 44-26 loss against Lewisburg on the 29th. As for Hamilton, they have also already played their next game, a 40-0 defeat against Montgomery Bell Academy on the 29th.
