Northmor emerged victorious in the matchup, but with many complications, as they allowed the Indians to put 223 yards on the ground on a whopping 56 carries.
Mount Gilead basically showed a smash-mouth football identity the entire game, so much so that they only attempted seven passes through the air.
Northmor had a decent lead going into the half, up 16-7. They failed to put any more points on the board though in the second half, and Mount Gilead took advantage. Ultimately, the Indians fell just a bit short, hence the final score.

Mt. Gilead’s running back Cam Vickers ended the night as the leading rusher of the game, accounting for 132 yards on 30 carries and two touchdowns.
