The Marion boys basketball team couldn’t hang onto the ball Friday at Haven, and the Wildcats took full advantage to cruise to a 58-31 win.

The Warriors coughed up the ball 23 times, with first quarter miscues contributing to a 14-7 deficit that grew to 26-13 by the half.

Needing to make each good possession count, the Warriors couldn’t find the range from the field, shooting 26 percent for the game and two-of-11 from 3-point range.

Brett Voth was 4-of-12 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line to lead Warriors scoring with 13. Jacob Baldwin chipped in 6, and Mason Pedersen scored 5. Baldwin had 6 of Marion’s 19 rebounds.

The Warriors return to action Jan. 6 hosting league foe Canton-Galva.
