While Morgan Park put up plenty of points on Saturday, the same can't be said for King. The Mustangs claimed a resounding 42-0 victory over the Jaguars. Considering the Mustangs have won four contests by more than 29 points this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Morgan Park got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Ronald Smith Jr. out in front who threw for 285 yards and three TDs on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 42 yards. The Mustangs' leading receiver Nasir Rankin was Smith Jr.'s top target yet again, picking up 150 receiving yards and a pair of scores.
Morgan Park's defense stepped up as well, laying out Jermaine Whitfield five times. Immanuel Carter was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up three sacks himself. He also set a new season-high mark in total tackles with seven.
