Friday marked the initial victory for Coach Darrel Barbay and his Wolverines.  Mansfield beat Jonesboro – Hodge by a final score of 20 – 12.

All three of Mansfield’s scores were tallied by Dekeldrick Thomas on QB runs.  The final touchdown was followed by a two point conversion by TJ Peguese.  TJ finished the night with 16 rushes for 92 yards.  Thomas contributed 47 yards on the ground to go with his 3 TDs.  Rykeelan Van Zandt contributed 38 yards on 8 carries and was the lead blocker for most of TJ’s carries.

On defense, Jeremiah Eckels and Fezell Montgomery led a stingy group of defenders.  They held Jonesboro to just two touchdowns and were able to stop both conversions.  Eckels finished the game with 7 tackles, 2 for a loss, a caused fumble and an interception.  Montgomery finished with 8 tackles with 2 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
