ATLANTA - It was a memorable Senior Night for the Mount Vernon Varsity Football team as the Mustangs defeated the Mount Paran Christian School Eagles 47-17 at Ron Hill Field on Friday, Oct. 30.

The Mustangs got on the board in the first quarter when Kobe Fleming rushed in a 15-yard touchdown. With Liam Allum's PAT, MV led 7-0 with 5:00 to play in the opening quarter.

MV added to its lead one minute into the second period on a Pierce Bhamornsiri 26-yard field goal to put MV ahead 10-0.

On Mount Paran's ensuing offensive possession, MV's Ethan Siggers intercepted an Eagle pass and returned it for a touchdown. Bhamornsiri made the PAT, giving the Mustangs the lead 17-0 with 9:46 to play in the first half.

The Eagles made it a 17-3 game on a made field goal midway through the second quarter.

The Mustangs responded in a big way to close out the half.

Taurean Rawlins had a 7-yard touchdown catch and Bhamornsiri drilled a 46-yard field goal to give the Mustangs a commanding 27-3 lead at halftime.

Mount Vernon scored again less than five minutes into the third period on a 20-yard field goal by Allum to put the Mustangs up 30-3.

The Eagles posted a touchdown to end the the third quarter followed by an early score in the fourth to pull within two possessions.
