Marquise Williams is area's best, getting better

Posted Sep 5, 2010
The player of the still-young high school football season is, without a doubt, Mallard Creek quarterback Marquise Williams. He's led his team to a 3-0 record and an all-time best No. 3 Sweet 16 ranking. The Mavericks, who beat East Mecklenburg 74-0 Friday, have outscored three opponents 161-6. Williams, a North Carolina commitment, has thrown 13 touchdowns. "This year," he said, "I feel more confident running my offense and it feels good delivering the football." (Charlotte Observer)
