A Mauldin football season that started off so promising now is on the brink of becoming a disappointment. The Mavericks were never in the game Friday against Dorman, falling 50-0.
On the first play from scrimmage Dorman tackled Mauldin quarterback Dre Massey in the endzone and three minutes the Cavaliers were in the end zone and had a 9-0 lead. Things got worse from there.
Mauldin had troubled putting two first downs together while Dorman rattled off one big play after another en route to a 44-0 halftime lead.

After the break, Dorman substituted liberally and mostly kept the ball on the ground. Mauldin's backup quarteback C.J. Thomas directed a couple of drives that penetrated deep into Cavaliers' territory, but those drives ended when the Mavericks turned the ball over on downs.
Dorman and Mauldin are both 4-4, but are going in opposite directions. Things don't figure to get any easier for the Mavericks next week when they head south to play a powerful Greenwood team.
