Kennedy is on a five-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Marina is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Kennedy Fighting Irish will host the Marina Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hopefully Kennedy focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up four on Thursday.
Kennedy fought the good fight in their overtime match against Beckman but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 20-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Patriots. Despite 59 more yards than the Patriots, the Fighting Irish couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Kennedy's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Derek Almazan, who threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns, and Deon Bynum, who picked up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. Kennedy also got help from Rocco Street, who showed off his sure hands for 96 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, while Marina put up some points on Thursday, the same can't be said for Fullerton. Marina blew past Fullerton, posting a 28-0 victory at home. Considering the Vikings have won four games by more than 22 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Marina's defense and their three sacks. Gunnar Mickelson was especially locked on to Fullerton's QB and sacked him twice. Brandon Atchison was another major factor on D, making eight total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Kennedy's loss dropped their record down to 5-3. As for Marina, their win bumped their record up to 8-0.
