Another 14-8 win over Brown City to close the season at 6 wins and 0 losses. Marlettes defense was strong all night long and helped Marlette fight off a few Green Devil drives down the field. Ironically, the last three games against Brown City, all have ended with a score of 14-8 ---- pretty weird! Another hard hitting contest that was a lot of fun to be a part of. Winning touchdown scored with 13 seconds remaining on the clock. Bryce George hit Brett Havens on a 40 yard touchdown pass to help the Red Raiders survive this hard fought contest. Very proud of these kids for the job they did this season. We put a lot of hard work in to make this happen. Thanks to my assistant coaches for a job well done throughout the season. Thanks to the parents for having the team meals before games for the whole team. Also, thanks to the parents for running their kids back and forth to all of our practices. A great group of kids. One of our best statistics of the season was not wins and losses but the fact that we had no players out for academic reasons for the first five weeks of the season (that has never happened before). The student in student/athlete always comes first and these kids did a tremendous job taking care of business academically first and then on the field second. Seventh graders work hard during the offseason ---- there are a lot of eighth graders leaving to play on the JV team and you will have to step up and fill those shoes next season. Announcement coming soon for a coaches and players flag football game, pass out award certificates to each player, and maybe an end of the season get together with parents and players. More details to follow soon. Thanks to Coach Lester and the entire Marlette football coaching staff (couldnt work with a more knowledgeable coaching staff and a bunch of great guys). In case I am missing someone, thanks to everyone who helped out this season in one way or another. -Coach Pitts-
