MARIONVILLE — Opposing defenses are forced to play a little game of "pick your poison" every week when going up against Marionville.

Either they can try to shut down dynamic sophomore quarterback Wil Carlton or they can do all they can to stop 5-foot-5 tailback Dakota Wilson from running all over them.

Try all the defenses want, but so far, nothing has worked.

Marionville (7-0) continued its resurgence with a 48-12 win over Sarcoxie (3-4) on Friday night. The Comets remain unbeaten after two consecutive four-win seasons.

The one-two punch of Carlton and Wilson has the Comets back in the state rankings — they were ranked No.
