Jake McDonald, captain & senior, is nervous about playing his last first home game vs. Benton tonight at the Marion Football field. “I never want to lose on our home field, especially being a senior” sad Jake.
The fans, known as ‘Red Nation’, will also be standing up behind the football team cheering them on. “Red Nation is good. It’s always nice hearing the crowd cheering you on.” Jake commented.
Before the game the team usually has team dinner the night before, and a team breakfast the morning of.
Jake has had a very memorable time playing football for Marion, “I’ll remember during a game in my sophomore year when we played against Waukon and I got to play part of the game. I wasn’t expecting to play, but I got to play for the rest of the season after that.”
All the guys are hoping to win their first home game.
