Where there's a Wil, there's a way.
Marionville quarterback Wil Carlton capped off a methodical, penalty-boosted drive with a five-yard touchdown run that lifted the Comets to a 18-13 win over Central on Friday at Harrison Stadium.
When Carlton plunged across the goal line with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter – a timely effort in a game otherwise dominated by defense – it was the latest example of the decorated senior's resolve.
The Class 1 power's offense often sputtered against an improved Class 5 Central program, but Carlton, who holds a 27-2 record as his team's starter, was steady when it mattered.
