Upset gives Marion 5th win

Marion appears to have saved its best for some of its last games this season, scoring a thrilling 57-56 upset victory Friday at Elyria Christian.

The boys teams had entered the game with mirror images of won-lost records. The Warriors were 4-15. The Eagles were 14-4 and ranked fourth in the state in Division 2 of Class 1A.

At a previous meeting Jan. 18 in Marion, the Eagles handily defeated the Warriors, 64-43. On the road Friday night, however, Marion came out victorious.

The Warrior girls, 4-14 heading into the game, weren’t as fortunate, losing a close game, 42-37, to the 11-6 Eagles.
