Marathon High School’s student section had a “rodeo” theme on Sept. 23, and though the community came out in droves, the Fins found themselves at the end of their rope, losing to Ransom Everglades 48-8.
Senior Dylan Globe had the Dolphins’ only touchdown of the evening, scoring on a four-yard team-effort run. Freshman Shamar Wright added two more points on the ground in the conversion run. Malachi Hawkins had 179 yards for the Dolphins, but was denied entrance to the end zone by Ransom. Coach Mac Childress praised Hawkins’ efforts, calling the star back “everything you want in a leader.”
Childress acknowledged that his team has “a lot to clean up”, but still feels positive coming into the second half of the season. “We are a young group, getting better every week,” he said. “I think we can be playing our best ball at the last game of the year.”
The Fins hit the road for the next two weeks, playing the 0-4 Bridgeprep Bulldogs on Friday, Sept. 30 before making the short trip to Coral Shores on Oct. 7.
