The Montabella Mustangs will welcome the Breckenridge Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Montabella's defense has only allowed 14 points per game this season, so Breckenridge's offense will have their work cut out for them.
Montabella is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Michigan's top teams: St. Patrick, who was ranked second at the time (Montabella was ranked third). The Mustangs came up short against the Shamrocks on Friday, falling 42-16. The Mustangs were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 27-0.
Despite the defeat, Montabella had strong showings from Austin Jensen, who picked up 130 receiving yards and one TD, and Gabriel Kauffman, who threw for 146 yards and one touchdown on only 11 passes. Jensen's longest reception was for an incredible 87 yards.
Meanwhile, Breckenridge owes their defense a big pat on the back after their performance on Thursday. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 27-0 victory over Byron. That looming 27-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Huskies yet this season.
Breckenridge is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 29.3 points over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Montabella fell to 8-1.
Everything came up roses for Montabella against Breckenridge in their previous matchup back in September, as the team secured a 54-18 victory. Will the Mustangs repeat their success, or do the Huskies have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
