Marietta’s high school football teams look to break out tonight after tough opening games last week. Marietta (0-1) at Hillgrove (1-0)—Marietta’s defense struggled against South Cobb in a season-opening 33-26 loss at home.

The Blue Devils’ best bet may be to ride the shoulders of talented quarterback Anthony Jennings and keep the Hillgrove offense off the field. Kickoff is at 7:30. Osborne (0-1) at Woodward Academy (0-1)—…
