West Marion's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Braxton Albritton led the charge by throwing for 305 yards and five touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Albritton's passing game has become a key predictor of the Trojans' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Brandon Bullock, who picked up 174 receiving yards and a pair of scores.

West Marion is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.8 points over those games. As for St. Patrick, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-5.
