Marina Wins Third Straight, Beats Northwood 25-14 for First Home Victory

Running back Ben Ramos carried the offense again. He ran 36 times for 164 yards and a touchdown, his fifth straight game with at least 100 rushing yards. Quarterback Maverick Coverick was efficient through the air, completing 18 of 25 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. His top targets were Nathan Kirk, who caught 8 passes for 102 yards, and Carson Hunnicutt, who finished with 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

The Vikings controlled the game by balancing a heavy ground attack with a clean passing game. Northwood managed 14 points and had no answer for Marina’s ball control.

The win is Marina’s third straight, following road wins over Cabrillo (42-21) and Cerritos (66-56) in September, and moves the Vikings to 3-3. Northwood also falls to 3-3, its third straight road loss.

Marina hosts Laguna Hills (5-1) next Friday, Oct. 9, in Iota League play. Northwood hosts Pacifica (5-1) the same night.
