The Tornadoes\u2019 defense kept the Mustangs in check most of the night, but the offense couldn\u2019t overcome Brysen Wright\u2019s game-breaking plays. Their defense couldn&#8217;t stop Mandarin&#8217;s running game late in the game that could&#8217;ve given their offense back the ball. Bradford remains one of the area\u2019s toughest pound-for-pound teams despite the setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1015600893445815\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1015600893445815\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1168296494\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10.

Fletcher\u2019s defense held its own, but the offense struggled to sustain drives against an elite Panthers squad. While the loss doesn&#8217;t drop them in the rankings, the Senators still have to prove themselves against a Top 10 opponent.
