South Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Marvin Parra
South picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Marvin Parra. Parra was unstoppable, making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Parra must have East Bakersfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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).
