Mifflinburg and Warrior Run certainly took different paths to Wednesday\u2019s District 4 Class 3A championship game.<\/p>\n
The Wildcats entered the season with all nine starters returning, and as one of the favorites for the title. All Mifflinburg did was win its first 21 games of the season \u2014 the school\u2019s first undefeated regular season since 1982 \u2014 and shake off its semifinal demons in a win over Hughesville last Thursday.<\/p>\n
