Marist School cruised to its third consecutive victory with a 39-13 win over Carver Atlanta High School Sept. 24. Marist scored 32 of its 39 points in the first half; consequently, they did not have to rely solely on the foot of their kicker Austin Hardin. In the Sept. 17 game against Southwest DeKalb, Hardin kicked a 59-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in the game for a 17-14 win. The field goal ties two others for the third-longest field goal in state history, but it stands alone as the longest winning field goal in Georgia high school history. Marist School (4-1) is idle until they go on the road Oct. 8 to face Lakeside DeKalb High School.
