The Blazers have now generated 2,154 total yards through the air this season. Defensive back Justin Mims is 13^th in the nation in passes defended per game (1.3) and punter Curtis Westerfield is 18^th in the country in yards per kick (41.2).

Player to Watch: The player to watch this week is senior wide receiver Justin Kenyon. Like McGinnis, Kenyon had a career game last week with 11 receptions for 208 yards and two touchdowns. The tandem of Kenyon and McGinnis has created havoc for opposing defenses in the final weeks of the season.

Key to the Contest: Belhaven's offense will need to continue to click against a tough Bethel defense, especially when it comes to the passing game. The Wildcats are 16th in the nation in pass defense limiting opponents to 169 yards per game. Junior defensive back Stoney Burns leads the nation in interceptions with seven. McGinnis and Kenyon will have to play well again in order to move the ball and put points on the board.
