Mulvane has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will challenge The Circle Thunderbirds at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Last Friday, Mulvane ended up a good deal behind McPherson and lost 28-10. That's two games in a row now that Mulvane has lost by exactly 18 points.
Despite the loss, Mulvane got a solid performance out of Fisher Dye, who rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. Dye's longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
Meanwhile, Circle's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their fourth straight loss. They fell 31-22 to Wellington.
Even though the team lost, they still came through with several impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Justin Andrews, who rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown. The team also got some help courtesy of Conner Chadwell, who threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns.
Even if they lost, Circle's defense still kept up the pressure with four sacks. Leading the way was Coy Stephens and his two sacks.
Mulvane now has a losing record at 3-4. Circle has been struggling this season, as they've lost six of their first seven contests, which leaves them at a 1-6 record this season.
Mulvane might still be hurting after the 40-14 defeat they got from Circle when the teams last played back in October of 2022. Can Mulvane avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
