MMA Battles North Shelby In Defensive Tie At Home
MMA and North Shelby fought to an 8 8 deadlock at Colonels Field as neither side could break the tie in a late scoring attempt. MMA led early on a Mike Bloom nine yard run, but key punt blocks and a late rally by North Shelby kept the game even and left MMA with a potential best season since 1966 if results tilt. Injuries thinned MMA backfield with Chris Naeter sidelined for the year and Wilson and Brown limited. The Raiders added a late momentum push but misfired on passes and penalties.
