Mullen extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping them up to 5-0. They really took it to the Hyannis Longhorns for the full four quarters, racking up a 54-16 win. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 34-8.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Alex Werner and Nicholas Gonzalez. Werner rushed for 125 yards and one score while Gonzalez rushed for 61 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Those 61 rushing yards gave Gonzalez a new career-high.
Mullen was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 294 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 289 rushing yards in three consecutive games.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Mullen's defense and their four sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Daniel Wright and Tate Kvanvig, who racked up all four sacks between them. Wright is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.
As for Hyannis, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-4. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 3-1 Maxwell (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 87.5% over those games).
When it comes to explaining why Hyannis lost, don't look at Levi Merrihew. Despite the final result, he rushed for 181 yards while picking up 10.6 yards per carry.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Mullen is set to take on their familiar foe Maxwell at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Hyannis will challenge rival Bayard at 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
