Midland amassed a remarkable 612 yards of offense, securing the top spot in the conference. The Tigers struggled, finishing with a season-low 160 yards of offense and only 10 first downs. Notably, Midland's T.J. Covington and Jurrion Dickey formed a potent receiving duo, both catching two touchdowns and accumulating over 100 yards.
Midland's defense also stifled the Tigers, preventing them from reaching the end zone until the final quarter. The Warriors will face No. 7 Morningside on October 3 in Sioux City, Iowa.
