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'.
