Marianna Junior Varsity Ends Season With Loss To Walton 26 - 6

Coach Adam Gray’s JV Squad Ends With A 2-3 Season

The Marianna JV Junior Bulldog squad fell before a well balanced offensive attack from the same Walton team they defeated 10-0 in mid-September at Walton. The Walton offensive passing attack found weaknesses in the Marianna pass defense that repeatedly generated long gains and scores for them. Meanwhile, the Marianna offense was not able to generate any meaningful drives into the Walton end zone.
Walton had 236 total yards of offense, while Marianna mustered only 155 yards with two turnovers.
The JV offense was missing the strength added by Chris Bowers and Elliot Batson who had both been pulled up onto the varsity squad. Their presence might have changed the outcome of the game, but this can not diminish the fact that the Walton team was powerful, well balanced, and much improved over the earlier contest.
