We’ve already made it through two weeks of high school football and already you guys sent me to Hoggard to check out the senior tailback leaving it all on the field.
“I want to leave an impact not just for the school but for my underclassmen because I have asthma and all that so that works against me, but if I can push through it that means they can push through all the hard work we do,” said Senior Kenneth Marshall.
Marshall’s performance week two against Orange High got him on our radar and you the fans put it through on Twitter making him POTW. MaxPreps reports Marshall gassed Orange for 97 yards with two touchdowns complimenting the tandem backfield attack Hoggard operates.

“You know beast mode and all that,” said Marshall adding, “They always talk about how top players, when they get on the field they turn into somebody else. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
He’s a quiet leaders that shines both on and off the field. Last April, Marshall was awarded as a winner in the MLK Jr. Essay Contest held amongst New Hanover County Schools.
