South Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Marvin Parra
Marvin Parra's big game helped extend South's winning streak to five on Friday. Parra did his part (and then some), making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss) for the 'W'.
East Bakersfield had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Parra it was a similar story. When Parra last faced the Blades back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
