(Homecoming in Berlin) 🏆2024 MPSSAA 2A CHAMPS STEPHEN DECATURS SEAHAWKS
 🆚 Bennett x Stephen Decatur
 A buddy of mine from the eastern shore told me rain was forecasted for the Berlin area, however when arriving at Stephen Decatur High School, there was not a drop of rain falling from the sky. Players were warming up, one mentioned about the undefeated South River being on the radar. Indicated to MFV, ever game is important to real football players. Focus must be on the goal, win the game. This mentality was definitely setting the stage for a good Bayside matchup. The James M. Bennett HS Clippers looked just as focused, desiring to take away a win on Decatur’s homecoming night. 1ST HALF (CLIPPERS - 0 SEAHAWKS - 24) The Clippers won the coin toss and deferred to the second. Crowd was delighted, and MFV hoped Decatur would run one back. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen but they were in good field position. Their drive started off like most, a run, a pass here and there. Their drive started Seahawks ended with a touchdown off a run from #8 Kyle Mumford, as he headed straight for the camera flashing his jersey number saying, “I’m him!!!!” The drive for the Clippers, was good. The run game was slowed for them but were able to get a first down off a short pass play. Wasn’t too long afterwards the Clippers QB then threw a pick 6 called back due to a block in the back. Still was exciting to witness. Special teams played a big role in adding a touchdown to the score after blocking a punt from Bennett to watch a DLine player take it in for 6. With a little confusion near the end of the half, Seahawks entered halftime with a 24-0 lead. 2ND HALF (CLIPPERS - 0 SEAHAWKS - 0) By the score, you can tell the second half didn’t prove to be much different. Decatur came out their locker room pumped to finish the game. With a short kick to the Clippers, suspended their drive marching right down the field adding another TD by Mumford, who was living up to his jersey flash. This brought about the activation of the mercy rule and now the game was on a running clock. The Seahawks sealed the victory, 38-0 looking forward to a big match vs. Easton High School. In Stephen Decatur fashion, a fireworks show was on display. I really enjoyed seeing that and the players stats being flashed across the big screen. How could you not love Bayside athletic competitions? This was awesome. TO BENNETT, covering you for the first time, I believe you wanted a better outcome. You guys are a solid team though. You have some amazing weapons in your arsenal and you fought to the very end. I was encouraged by your great poise and good sportsmanship. Keep working, keep grinding!!! Keep listening to your leaders!!! TO DECATUR, you always have a great display of football every time we’ve covered you. Always amazed at how with different squads each year, your coaching excellence seems to reign supreme. You have done a great job in developing some superior athletes. Also was very impressed of how well mannered your team is to others. I look forward to future coverage as MFV plans to come for other sporting events. TO BOTH TEAMS, wishing you continued success. Work hard, play hard on the field and in the classroom MFV MFVALLSPORTSNETWORK

Good Game! Go KIHS

This fall, the boys’ soccer team at James M. Bennett High School in Salisbury is looking to build on a strong 2023 campaign which saw the team go 12-1-1. Bennett opened the season on a 13-game tear, winning 12 and drawing just one, before having their season cut short by South River in a 3-0 defeat on Halloween. The Clippers will surely look to bounce back in 2024, opening their season with a scrimmage at Indian River High School (DE) on August 17th.
