Despite a game total of 20-points each from Marcellus’ Cale Hackenberg and Jamarion Robinson, the younger Rangers squeaked out the win, 59-56. No other Wildcat reached double figures, however, Matt Lehew tossed in 6, with Martelle Enright and Zade Tyszka each contributing 5. Tyszka led the team in rebounds with 8, followed by Hackenberg and Robinson with seven apiece. Enright was credited with six steals. The JV is now 4-4 on the season.

Junior Beau Ferguson dominated the scoring for Marcellus with 20 points, followed by 9 from Nate Mihills, 8 from Parker Adams, 7 from freshman Abram Coffey, 6 from Quinton Tone, and 3 from Dawsen Lehew.

The Lawrence Tigers come to town Friday, January 19, with the JV tip-off at 4:45pm, girls’ varsity at 6:00pm, followed by the boys varsity.
