Marietta had to skate by with only a one-point margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 44-point drubbing they dealt Cherokee on Friday. The Blue Devils took their matchup with ease, bagging a 52-8 win over the Warriors. That 44 point margin sets a new team best for the Blue Devils this season.
Titus Grant was his usual excellent self, rushing for 136 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. He has become a key player for Marietta: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Carson Snipes, who threw for 110 yards and a pair of TDs on perfect 5-for-5 passing.
Marietta didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Cherokee to a completion percentage of just 45.5%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from five players: Merrick Ham, Jude Morris, Jamine Solomon, Alec Huff, and Caleb Graham, who each logged one passes deflected. Marietta has been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.59 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.59 in their last three games.
