Thomas More Prep-Marian unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 29-22 to the Russell Broncos on Thursday. The Monarchs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Broncos apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in September of 2024.
Trey Zorn had an outrageously good game for Russell as he threw for 166 yards and three TDs while completing 73.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 39 yards and one touchdown. Zorn also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Thomas More Prep-Marian will take on rival Norton on the 12th. Meanwhile, Russell is set to face off against their familiar foe Oakley at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
