Damien Gatson was another key contributor, throwing for 192 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Mobile Christian has yet to lose a matchup at home this season, leaving them with a 11-0 record. That said, the team wasn't facing the toughest opposition over that stretch, as it included 1-9 Monroe County and 1-8 Munroe (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 38.9% over those games). As for Beulah, they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost six of their last eight matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season.
