(March 2, 2015) — Mullin could only slow Huckabay down for so long.

Not near long enough.

District 18-A champ Huckabay sped up the game in the second half and outscored Mullin 30-17 over the final 14 minutes of a 54-40 area playoff victory at Hamilton High School Monday.

Now comes an even tougher challenge – a regional quarterfinal matchup against Throckmorton, with both team’s on one night’s rest. That game is 7 p.m. Tuesday at Mineral Wells.
