Mifflinburg Football 2024 Season

Cody Botts's first season on the head-coaches page was 4-7. The school district history says the team qualified for districts and played one game. That game is on the schedule: a 27-28 loss at Montoursville on Nov. 2.

Four of the seven losses were by a single score. Loyalsock won 28-27 on the road in August. Mount Carmel won 35-34 at Mifflinburg. Montoursville won the regular-season meeting 27-20, then the district game by the same margin the other way. Hollidaysburg won 37-29.

Matt Beltz's EasternPAFootball account of Sept. 6 has that Mount Carmel game. Mount Carmel's quarters were 20-6-6-3. Mifflinburg's were 7-20-7-0. The box lists Mount Carmel 2-1 and Mifflinburg 0-3. Cooper Karycki ran 26 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Radwil Susan scored from the 4, the 5, and the 3. Landen Murray's 91-yard kickoff return put Mifflinburg on the board. Chad Martin was 10 of 17 for 179 yards, and his 4-yard pass to John Parker Marr as the half ended gave Mifflinburg a 27-26 lead. Robert Schoppy's 20-yard field goal with 5:39 left was the last score. The story calls the opening drive seven plays. The scoring line prints eight.
