Governor Mifflin Head Coach Jeff Lang pointed to last year’s loss as the big motivating factor leading up to the game, “We watched that game over and over and over this week with the kids. That loss was a bitter result.”  Coach Lang  lauded the Mustang defensive efforts as a decisive factor in the game. “Our defense had a great game but give credit to Exeter. They came out the second half and did it to us.” Mifflin, known for its ground attack took to the air early and often to gain an advantage.  “The way that Exeter played their defense with everybody up,” Land said, required that ”…We had to throw it on them.”
