With a playoff win on the line, Mize rose to the challenge on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Lake Hornets 49-16. The Bulldogs' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Mize can attribute much of their success to Antrell Agee, who rushed for 58 yards and one TD, and also threw for 71 yards and one touchdown on only five passes. Agee's passing game has become a key predictor of the Bulldogs' success: the team is 4-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-5 otherwise. Jack Garner was in the mix too, providing Mize with two scores.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Mize was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 257 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September.

Mize's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB five times. Jamiyon Gray was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself. Mize received some extra help from Garner, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Mize has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.0 points on average over those games. As for Lake, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-5.

Coming up, Mize will venture away from home to take on Wesson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs will need to watch out since the Cobras have now posted at least 31 points in their last six contests. Lake does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
