Amari Clemons Goes Supernova in Marianna Victory
Amari Clemons was instrumental in extending Marianna's winning streak to eight on Friday. Clemons was unstoppable, rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. Clemons is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 119 every time he's taken the field this season.
If the past is any indication, Clemons could be in store for another big game when he takes on Holmes County on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Clemons saw the Blue Devils), he rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry.
