On defense, they held a high-powered Kirtland (184 yards total offense) in check after the FG to start the game and a late fourth quarter TD
#OHSAA State FB D6: Marion Local capitalizes on Kirtland fumbled punt recovery and takes its first lead of the game on a 1-yd TD run by Nolan Habodasz. 2-pt conversion run by Habodasz is good. 1:05 left in 1Q.

A naysayer TWEET
Marion Local hikes its lead over Kirtland to 20-3 on 3-yard TD by Bruening. Should be noted that the Flyers got two generous spots to gain first downs on drive. Ref crew is rounding up ball spots. ML was a half-yard short on third down early in drive, but was awarded first down.
