Marian 31, Riverside Twin Pines 0--After going 0-10 and scoring only 24 points all season in 1991, Marian started ’92 on a positive note.

Marian exceeded its 1991 scoring output in the first three quarters Friday, and its defense held Twin Pines’ offense to minus-six yards.

“That was the hardest hitting game I’ve seen in a while,” said Patriot Coach Mike David. “(Twin Pines) didn’t complete a pass. We really wanted to get a shutout. We’re real pleased. The guys have really come together.

“We felt this game was real important as far as turning us around.”

Senior running back Ian Sutlick led Marian’s 238-yard rushing attack with 94 yards on 12 carries. He scored three touchdowns on runs of 33 yards and one yard and a 20-yard pass reception from quarterback Ricky Trejo. Trejo also scored on a three-yard run.

Sophomore Aaron Guess gained 59 yards on four carries and junior Ricky Tirado gained 42 yards on five carries, while the team’s top running back, Junior King, was out with an injury.
