THE DIFFERENCE: The arm and legs of Mitchell quarterback Tate Humphrey. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder ran for a pair of first-half scores and threw for two more in racking up 290 total yards in just three quarters of play.
GAME NOTES: Showcasing its quick-strike ability, none of Mitchell's five first-half scoring drives lasted longer than one minute and all combined they added to 15 plays. ... Mitchell's defense dominated, holding Sunlake to just 125 total yards. ... Sunlake's bright spots were junior running back Mike Shaver, who finished with 49 yards on seven carries and sophomore running back Joe Connoly. Shaver carried four times for 46 yards on the Seahawks' best first-half drive, which ended with an interception at the goal line on fourth down.
STAT OF THE GAME: Mitchell totaled 430 yards of offense, outgained Sunlake by 305 yards.
QUOTE OF THE GAME: "I wanted to come out here and end it on a high note with a win and we got that, but what I really wanted was to get one receiving touchdown. I never even had a ball thrown to me in my whole career." - Humphrey
