WOODLAWN - There really wasn't much Woodlawn Coach Doug Means could find wrong after his Bears made quick work of the Marvell Mustangs with a 6020 homecoming victory Friday night at the Carl Jones Sports Complex.After having a bye last week in preparation for the winless Mustangs, the Bears' offense looked about as fine-tuned as it has all season. Woodlawn racked up 354 yards of total offense over three quarters as both teams agreed to forego the fourth quarter.Woodlawn amassed 320 yards on the ground using six different runners.
