Well, well, well. Look who has snatched a a playoff birth from the jaws of ending the season. The Marietta Blue Devils. Yes, hard to believe this once 2-4 Blue Devil team finished the season winning 3 of its last 4 games (3 games were on the road) to claim a 5-5 season and good enough to make the playoffs! The Devils needed some help and help arrived as the teams that needed to lose, lost and put Marietta in the playoffs. Up next for the Blue Devils will be playing at Grayson Rams (10-0) ranked #1 in the region. I think everyone in Marietta is thrilled the Blue Devils got this far.

Marietta needed to take care of its own business and business they did playing at Kennesaw Mountain HS Mustangs. The Mustangs were trying to finish a dismal season coming into the game 1-8. End the end it was too much of Marietta's QB Adam Patrick (54 yds passing) and RB Greg Franklin (208 yds rushing) as the Devils won 35-20 finishing the season 5-5. KMHS finished the year 1-9. Playoffs are NEXT. ..enjoy..
