South Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Marvin Parra
South picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Marvin Parra. Nobody could stop Parra as he made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Parra must have East Bakersfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Parra picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Blades duked it out back in October of 2023.
