The Green Ravens led by the quarterbacking skills of Malachi Wayman and Leland Ward unveiled their potent offense in a shutout win over the White Ravens. The Green Ravens’ offensive line, anchored by Isiah Doss, Donovan Lowe, Marquis Pressley and Kafupeti Fonua helped pave the way for seven running backs — Jacolby Cochran, A’Shaki Davis, Jalen Dixon (1 TD), Silk Harris (2 TDs), Dante Haynes Jr., Elijah McClain, and Anthony “Big Tone” Wayman (1 TD) – to showcase their skills as they put together a total team effort to earn this victory. The Green Ravens’ defense, led by Jahmir Jackson, James Scott aka “Duke” and the multi-talented Tre Holman, was able to hold the White Ravens to zero first downs the entire game. These Green Ravens know how to load the wagon!
