Mifflin and Muhlenberg were all set to go Friday night. Then, a threat of gun violence prompted Muhlenberg officials to postpone the game. With home-field issues still present at Muhlenberg, this led to a Sunday afternoon contest at Governor Mifflin. On a gorgeous, uneventful, sun-splashed afternoon, the Mustangs manhandled the Mules 41-6 in an important Lancaster Lebanon League Section Two contest.
Gov. Mifflin was led by RB Grady Garner, QB Javien Pletz and ATH Reece Hohl. Garner had 162 yards on the ground and 2 TDs Pletz had 2 rushing and 2 passing TDs. Hohl had a TD reception and an important end zone interception to end a key Muhlenberg drive.
Garner got Mifflin going on the opening drive and scored the first TD after leading the Mustangs down the field. It was 6-0 at the 3:43 mark of quarter one.
On the first play of the second quarter, Mifflin QB Pletz hits Travis Jenkins on a 73-yard score to make it 14-0 Mifflin after a successful two-point attempt.
The next Mifflin possession had QB Pletz diving across to make it 21-0 with 3:27 until the break.
The last minute of the first half was action-packed. Mifflin stopped Muhlenberg on a 4th down at the Mules 47.
After the kickoff, Muhlenberg got a long TD reception from Mike Miller It was 27-6 Mustangs at the break. Grady Garner scored his 2nd TD of the day to make it 33-6 Mifflin at the 8:23 mark of quarter three.
