Mary Persons found success last week, but it it has a real challenge ahead. It and Cartersville face off this Friday at 7:30 PM to determine whose season will come to a close. Each team will be battling to keep its win streak alive, with Mary Persons having won eight in a row and Cartersville 13.
Mary Persons won a game last week that couldn't get any closer, slipping by Blessed Trinity 28 - 27. No one had a larger role in the success than sophomore running back Quen Wilson, who brought his A game into the contest. He split the defense to the tune of 152 yards. This marked the 3rd consecutive game in which Wilson had 100+ rushing yards.
Meanwhile, Cartersville claimed a 26 - 15 victory over Woodward Academy last week. Senior wide receiver Antoine Jefferson had a nice 143-yard performance that was surely well-received by fans. Jefferson has now scored at least one TD in the past three consecutive games.
Their wins bumped Mary Persons to 11-2 and Cartersville to 13-0. Both the Mary Persons and Cartersville defenses have allowed few points this year (averaging 10.46 ppg and 8.23 ppg, respectively), so the teams might find scoring more difficult than usual this week.
