Football Roundup: Mission falls in barn burner

The Mission Bulldogs put up quite the fight in a shootout at home Friday night against one of the best eight-man football teams in the state.

Flint Creek (3-0), currently ranked No. 1 at 406mtsports.com, rode a big early lead and held off the scrappy Bulldogs (2-2) for a 76-62 victory.

Mission came out swinging during homecoming night and led 26-8 after the first quarter, but were blanked 38-0 in the second and trailed 46-26 at half. The teams combined for 46 points in an epic fourth quarter.

“We competed against them,” first-year Mission head coach Carson Oakland said Monday. “I'm really proud of how they stuck it out. They are a fun group to coach.”
