Michael Martin Throws Four TD Passes & Runs for Another in Maranatha’s 55-8 Victory Over Hamilton; MHS Improves to 6-0-1 in 2022

Football: Considering where the Maranatha football program has recently come from, to the spot they are today, is nothing short of remarkable. In Rand Holdren’s first season (2021), MHS was 1-7, they were undermanned, and as harsh as it might sound, the Minutemen were irrelevant in the big picture. Maranatha finished the year with seven […]
