Marion steamrolls Anamosa, 58-0

ANAMOSA -- One week after being sidelined and schooled by the defending Iowa Class 3A state champions, Marion returned to its typical dominating form Friday night.

The schedule mandated that the no-luck Anamosa Raiders would be the Indians' rebound game, and the Marion offense was an unstoppable scoring machine in this gigantic District 6 mismatch. Marion's starters were gone by the midway point of the second quarter, but the Indians never stopped yard-marching at will in a 58-0 walk in the park at Downing Field.

The dropped passes, third down breakdowns and bend-and-break defense that defined Marion's hard 34-7 road loss to reigning 3A king Decorah in last week's early-season measuring stick game were nowhere to be found Friday as Marion got its groove back by exploiting its vast strengths over the undersized, outmanned Raiders.
