The <b>Mount Vernon</b> Majors football team closed out its regular season on a six-game winning streak thanks to a 31-20 win over Wakefield last Friday night.
The Majors closed out the season with an 8-2 record, good enough for the No. 3 seed in the Division Five Northern region playoffs.
As has been the case most of the season, leading the charge for Mount Vernon was the two-headed rushing monster of senior quarterback Brian Green and senior fullback Kyle Ricks. Ricks finished with 83 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, while Green had a game-high 129 yards and two touchdowns.
The Majors face Washington-Lee at home in first-round playoff action this Friday.
