Middle Creek's 35-21 loss to Garner Friday night certainly wasn't the night the Mustangs wanted to have in their annual big meeting with their biggest non-conference rival.
Mistakes - missed blocking assignments, dropped passes - were a big part of what put the Mustangs in a 28-0 hole, but there were several positives they can take out of the contest, played before 4,000 fans as they head back into Tri-Nine Conference play.

The third round football playoff game between Middle Creek and Harnett
Central has been moved to Campbell University. The game is scheduled
for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
"Our field has water standing on it," Central coach Marc Morris said. "There is no way the field would be safe to play on."
Both schools will be closed on Friday because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
