If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Marion. They will take on Jacksonville at home at 7:00 PM on Friday. Marion will be strutting in after a victory while Jacksonville will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Last Friday, Marion had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 28-20 win over Pine Bluff. Junior Anthony Price, who rushed for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns, was a major factor in Marion's success. Price has now scored at least one touchdown in the past three games.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville fought the good fight in their overtime game but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. It was close but no cigar for Jacksonville as they fell 0-3 to West Memphis. The contest was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Jacksonville were outplayed the rest of the way.
Marion were able to grind out a solid win over Jacksonville the last time the two teams met, winning 20-6. Will Marion repeat their success, or does Jacksonville have a better game plan this time around ? We'll find out soon enough.
