The Comets started the third quarter strong with Caleb Williams running the ball in for a 10-yard touchdown, followed by a successful two-point conversion. Marionville led 8-7.
Williams again scored in the fourth quarter on a third and goal play. The two-point attempt was no good, giving the Comets a 14-7 lead.
Osceola answered with another touchdown with less than 6:30 left in the game, but the field goal attempt was blocked, leaving Marionville up by one. The Indians scored again and made a successful two-point conversion for the 21-14 win.
Marionville travels to Pleasant Hope next week.
