November 5 (Deweyville) – The Panthers wrapped up a crazy 2020 season with a big 16-6 win over the Deweyville Pirates. MMS took the opening kickoff and rolled down the field ending with a Tucker Floyd touchdown and two-point conversion. The Pirates would also score on their first possession but could not convert the two-point conversion cutting the lead to 8-6. The Panthers held that 8-6 lead at the half. Floyd would add another TD/Conversion in the 4 quarter to put the Panthers up 16-6 behind great blocking by offensive lineman Clayton Farwell, Dylan Cabrera, Carson McIlwain, Jaylon Broussard, and Ethan Childress. The defense played a tremendous game keeping the Pirates run attack scoreless for the final three quarters. Kaden Boatman had a huge game with several key tackles while Mason Floyd and Clayton Farwell each had a sack and a fumble recovery. The win put the Panthers at 2-2 overall and 1-1 in district play for a season that saw two hurricanes, a major train derailment, and COVID19 play havoc with their season schedule. Below the team gathered for a picture at the pre-game meal provided by the 8th grade parents and served by Amy McIlwain and Amberly Craft.
