Mainland’s first season under head football coach Jerrime Bell ended with a 21-0 loss at Tallahassee Lincoln in the Region 1-5A quarterfinals on Nov. 15.

The Bucs finished the year with a 5-6 record after winning their final five games of the regular season. They qualified for the playoffs for the 31st consecutive season but lost to defensive juggernaut Lincoln, the second-ranked team in the region.

Lincoln, which improved to 9-2, will host sixth-seeded Fleming Island on Friday, Nov. 22, in the regional semifinals. Lincoln’s two losses have come to a pair of 10-1 teams — Gadsden County and Niceville.

The Trojans have allowed nine or fewer points in eight of their nine wins. They held the Bucs to 161 yards of offense and forced two interceptions.

Mainland quarterback Sebastian Johnson passed for 106 yards. Edward Williams rushed for 63 yards on 15 carries. Johnson lost eight yards on sacks. Jameil Patrick caught three passes for 41 yards.
