Montes Posts Huge Game in 59-0 Victory
Moises Montes was a major factor in Marsing's victory over Parma on Friday. Montes turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, while also picking up 31 receiving yards.
Marsing is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. They and Ririe will meet in a canine-themed contest at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cutler King Turns in Season-Best Effort
New Plymouth was led to victory by Cutler King, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. King picked up 131 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jace Chadez Makes It Two for Marsing
The second Marsing player making an appearance here is Jace Chadez, and for good reason. He threw for 111 yards and a touchdown on only nine passes.
Marsing and Ririe will meet in a canine-themed contest at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Chadez took on the Bulldogs, he threw for 106 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
