Marion Persich is rewriting the playbook with his explosive blend of size and speed, torching Simeon for a 44-27 win while rushing for 115 yards and two TDs, throwing for 128 yards and two more scores — all while making smart in-game adjustments. His 81-yard touchdown run, where he shrugged off a defender near the goal line, was just one highlight in a day that also included big plays to Quaid Phillips and Mick Smith. Coach Thorson calls him a phenomenal athlete and playmaker, and even teammates are raving as Persich dominates early in his Morris debut. Simeon’s Aki King put up monster stats (370 yards, 3 TDs), but Morris’s lightning-fast start — including a fumble recovery on kickoff — proved too much to overcome.
