ATLANTA - After a 6-4 regular season record and a third place finish in Region 5-1A, the Mount Vernon varsity football team will now shift its focus to the most exciting time of the year: the state playoffs.

The Mustangs will be the no. 3 seed from Region 5-1A and will travel to Kennesaw, Ga. to take on the Mt. Paran Christian Eagles.

The first round for all Class-A Private State Playoff games will take place on Saturday, Nov. 13.

The Mustangs picked up their first victory of this season over Mt. Paran at home on Sept. 3 with a convincing 35-14 win.

Mt. Paran finished as the no. 2 seed from Region 7-1A.

The Mustangs have bested the Eagles twice since the 2020 season.

Before this year's win, the Mustangs won 17-0 last season on Sept. 18 on the road.

"Because of the good season we had, the team has qualified for the playoffs for the sixth straight season.," Head Coach Wayne Dabbs said. "This is such a huge accomplishment for this group and we could not be more proud of each of them and for our incredible MV Community!"
