MAHANOY CITY - Marian coach Stan Dakotsky told his team to go out and play a complete football game before Friday's contest against Mahanoy Area.

"It was the beginning of a sloppy football game for us. The turnovers killed our drives. We can't give a good team like Marian that many opportunities and expect to win."Throughout the entire game, Colts' quarterback Ethan Kuczynski executed Dakotsky's option offense flawlessly. The forward pass was used sparingly, but it came up big at the five-minute mark of the first quarter. Kuczynski hit a deep post-pass to Anthony Collevechio off play action to put Marian up by two touchdowns."Ethan was just tremendous tonight," said Dakosty.
