Johnny Redding scored two early touchdowns on the ground, Jeff Stevenson threw two second half touchdown passes, and Kelly McGee picked up a touchdown in between on an eight yard run as Saint James solidified their grasp on a playoff spot as they walloped the injury-laden Marbury Bulldogs 43 - 6.

Redding's eight yard touchdown was the final play of an eight play drive.  He ran for 31 yards twice on the second touchdown drive before cashing in from three yards.  Mark Kitchens scored on a 24 yard run just before halftime.  Marbury's only scoring drive opened the third quarter as Joey Wurtz concluded a 50 yard drive with a short touchdown run.  However, Saint James eliminated any Marbury thought of comeback with the McGee touchdown and the first Stevenson touchdown pass on the last play of the third quarter.

Thanks to Jim Platt of the Prattville Progress for a majority of the recap information.
