DIXONS MILLS &8212; The Marengo High School Panthers kept their winning streak alive in dramatic fashion Friday night, by providing J.F. Shields with a free offensive clinic.

The Panthers amassed 384 yards on the way to their 28-0 shut out of the visiting Shields squad. Marengo High School coach Scottie Jones attributed the win to opening both facets of the group&8217;s offense.

The three trips to the end zone for the air were all off of catches from senior Hakeem Hildreth, who was responsible for 136 of the group&8217;s passing yards.

On the ground, the Panthers rushed for 235 yards lead by sophomore running back Michael Watkins. Watkins had 14 carries for 187 yards and a touchdown.

Sophomore James Dumas also helped out the defense with two interceptions, with 42- and 70-yard returns.
