Avery defeated Mitchell tonight by a 4-2 final score to win on Senior Night. Sam Brown, Lucas Carver, & John Hensley were honored along with their families prior to kickoff.

The seniors led the way as Hensley and Brown tallied for the Big Red in the opening 40 minutes.
Francisco Robles scored on a skilled shot from 20 yards out early in the second half to put the Vikings up 3-0 before Mitchell rallied with a pair of goals within a 7 minute stretch to narrow the score to 3-2. Kyle Griewisch added an insurance goal late for Avery as they took the win.
Avery finishes the season with a 5-14-2 overall mark, and a 2-9-1 mark in Western Highlands Conference play.
