The Mulvane Middle School football teams hosted their first home games of the season as the Haysville West Gorillas came into town. The 7th grade team battled hard but fell 22-26 to the Gorillas. Quarterback Jeter Tatum found the endzone twice for the Cats and Keaton Grizzle added a score with a 30-yard run. "The 7th grade faced another strong opponent in Haysville West," said Coach Beikman. "I felt we played better than week one but we continued to hurt ourselves at times. Defensively we did not tackle well and that cost us a ball game. These boys will continue to work during the week and improve for our game at Ark City."

The 8th grade team were neck-and-neck with the Gorillas in the first half with Hays Ensley scoring the only TD in the first half for the Cats. Quarterback Grady Myers added another 6 points with a 12-yard run in the third quarter and Ensley topped off the scoring with a nice 64-yard run in the fourth to seal the win. The defense had a great game, holding Haysville West to only one score. "We had our hands full with the Haysville West run game," said Coach Beikman. "The boys battled all night and we played a great second half to pull away for the win."
