THE SKINNY STORY
Muhlenberg scored 23 straight points to turn an early 10-7 deficit into a 30-16 victory over Gettysburg.
THE LEADERS
•
Carson Shoffner (Baltimore, Md./John Carroll) established a career high for the Bullets, rushing for 126 yards on 24 carries.
•
RJ Weiss (Oradell, N.J./River Dell) recorded nine tackles to go with a fumble recovery to lead the defense.
FOR THE FOES
• Amari Dunn ran the 23 times of his own for the Mules, rushing for 96 yards and a touchdown.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Gettysburg, ignited by an 18-run from
Carson Shoffner on the second play from scrimmage, moved the ball inside the Muhlenberg 40 but a CJ Newman 58-yard interception return set up the Muhlenberg offense at the Bullet 8. Two plays later, Amari Dunn pounded it home from two yards out for a 7-0 lead with 12:29 showing. Gettysburg had the response, though. On the sixth play of its next drive,
Sean Clark (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) hit
Gabriel Diaz (Orlando, Fla./Winter Park) alone down the sideline for a 50-yard touchdown to tie the game just 2:27 later. After a three-and-out, the Bullets put together a 15-play drive. On third-and-goal from the four-yard line, a sack forced the visitors to settle for a 30-yard
Isaac Parks-Gill (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County) field and 10-7 lead with 2:13 to play in the opening quarter.
• After a Muhlenberg turnover and Gettysburg three-and-out, the Mules drove 58 yards in five plays before Luke Sprang found Logan Nordeck for a 25-yard touchdown and 14-10 lead with 9:55 showing for the only points of the second quarter.
• Muhlenberg took the opening drive of the second half 53 yards in nine plays, finishing it with a JR Walley three-yard touchdown grab and 20-10 lead with 10:45 on the clock. The Mule defense forced another three-and-out and the offense moved 70 yards in nine plays capped by a 29-yard Cody Arevalo touchdown for a 27-10 lead with 3:53 remaining. Nicholas D'Amico paid off an interception with a 22-yard field goal for a 30-10 lead after three quarters.

Jayden Lee (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) for a six-yard touchdown to close the margin to 30-16.
