Mullins had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 26-20 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Lake View Wild Gators. The Auctioneers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Wild Gators apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in September of 2024.
Despite the loss, Mullins still got an impressive performance from Kanazzion Bethea, who rushed for 119 yards and one touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 224 yards and a pair of TDs. The Auctioneers' leading receiver Keith Bridgett was Bethea's top target yet again, picking up 108 receiving yards and one score.
Even if they lost, Mullins' defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In that department, Ayntwain Crawford was the leader with two.
Lake View pushed their record up to 2-0 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mullins will square off against Green Sea Floyds at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. After each having a week off, Lake View and Scott's Branch will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. on the 12th.
