Amari Clemons Goes Supernova in Marianna Victory
Amari Clemons was instrumental in extending Marianna's winning streak to eight on Friday. Clemons was dynamite, rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Clemons could be in store for another big game when he takes on Holmes County on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Clemons saw the Blue Devils), he rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry.
