Even if they lost, Mitchell's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Jireh Crenshaw. Briann Coure got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Mitchell's loss dropped their record down to 8-6. As for Manatee, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 12-3.
Mitchell does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Manatee, they will challenge East Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Eagles' defense has only allowed 7.2 points per game this season, so the Hurricanes' offense will have their work cut out for them.
