Friday just wasn't the day for Mills University Studies' offense. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 21-0 to Bauxite, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Comets haven't had much luck with the Miners recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they've met.

The win continues a trend for the Leopards in their matchups with the Cobras: they've now won five in a row.
