REIFFTON – The Governor Mifflin, Exeter Twp. match up always has plenty on the line. The undefeated, Ranked #1 in 5A Mustangs, were looking to take control of the Berks 1 League race. Mifflin was coming off of a dismantling of its non-league foes. The Eagles have plenty of talent. Exeter Twp. was looking to get on track in Berks 1 play after two tough non-league losses. But the suspense of this game, lasted a whopping 12 seconds. Governor Mifflin’s (6-0) Tyler Minick took the opening kick back for a 75-yard TD. The Mustangs never looked back.

The Mifflin Coaches told me that an on side kick on the second half kick was diagrammed during halftime. The onside kick play was diagnosed from film study by the Coaching staff during the week. Three plays after the recovery Mifflin’s Nick Singleton scored a TD.
