Despite their loss, Old Mill saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Trey MarTini, who threw for 269 yards and one TD while completing 74.1% of his passes, was perhaps the best of all. 140 of Martini's passing yards were hauled in by Makel Wilder.
Even if they lost, Old Mill's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Robert Manning.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Annapolis). They breezed past North County to the tune of 57-14 on Friday. The win continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Knights: they've now won four in a row.
Old Mill better keep an eye on Zyhir Neal. He was instrumental in Annapolis' win, rushing for 101 yards and three touchdowns. Neal's passing game has become a key predictor of the Panthers' success: the team is 2-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-3 otherwise. Another rusher making a difference was De'Myen Gray, who rushed for 70 yards and one score on only seven carries.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Annapolis, racking up 15 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Calvin Smith, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Annapolis' victory bumped their record up to 3-4. As for Old Mill, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-2.
Old Mill might still be hurting after the 40-20 defeat they got from Annapolis when the teams last played back in September of 2024. Thankfully for the Patriots, Tyler Womack (who rushed for 217 yards and five TDs while picking up 7.8 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
