17-13 Defeat
The Marauders lost a tough one Friday night against Tyler's Robert E. Lee High School in an evening that saw Redneck fans shouting obscenities in unison at Marcus players along with racial taunts.
For the third time this season, Marcus' defeat was brought about by a costly error. After two losses due to TDs scored on turnovers from bad snaps, this week a 41 yard pass play that brought the Marauders to the Red Raiders 9 went for naught when an interception was run back to midfield, leading to an ensuing Lee TD.
Jared has a strong performance on offense taking out defenders with his cut blocks and opening holes for Stephen Hopkins. Jared had one run for a one yard gain, and missed the last five plays of the game after coming out to ice his neck after a 'stinger'.

Last Non-District Game
The Marauders travel 125 miles to East Texas tonight to play Tyler Lee in their 5th and last Non-District game, and the last long haul road trip.
Next week we have a Bye, then the 5 district games begin with the 'Battle of the Axe' against cross-town rival Lewisville. This game is annually played at Texas Stadium due to the large turnout - last year there were 23,000 at the game. This year being the last Axe game before Texas Stadium falls to the wrecking ball, attendance is expected to come close to 30,000.
We also play Flower Mound at Texas Stadium, play Southlake and Hebron home at Max Goldsmith Stadium, and play Coppell at their Buddy Echols Stadium.

Close loss to Katy - 17-14
The Marauders traveled 120 miles to Waco yesterday to play a non-district game against defending State 5A Champion Katy, which is located another 180 miles to the south. Though Katy came into the game 0-2, their community was hit by Hurricane Ike and since there was no school all week, the football team practiced 3 times a day.
Jared had no carries, and one pass thrown under pressure sailed over his head. Jared did manage to continue his aggressive cut blocking, taking out his man on most plays, however Katy's multi-man rush was intense and held stellar RB Stephen Hopkins to 49 yards on 16 carries!

2 TDs vs. Keller Fossil Ridge - 49-28
Jared has a great night in Marcus' 49-28 win over Keller Fossil Ridge Panthers. He continued his outstanding blocking opening up holes for TB Stephen Hopkins who rushed 25 for 207 with 3 TDs.
The first play of the game was a 13 yard pass to Jared. Jared rushed 6 for 19, and scored two TDs on 3 yard runs. As he battled through the scrum on his first TD, a Panther tore his helmet off, but he had an easier go for the second TD as his O-line opened a hole.

MHS vs. Plano West 9/05 - 27-23 loss
The Marauders lost to the Plano West Wolves Friday evening after a bad punt snap gave the Wolves possession at the MHS 30 and they scored with 1:17 remaining. A Marauder comeback attempt failed as time expired after getting down to the West 30.
Jared continues his aggressive blocking for our two Tailbacks Stephen Hopkins and Degan Newsome with his cut blocks, neutralizing Plano defenders. Jared again opened the lane twice inside the 10 yard line giving Stephen a route to two TDs.
Jared has two rushing plays for gains of 7 and 3 yards, and one pass reception for a gain of 15 yards.
