Saint Joe dominated Jimtown in the regular season but Saint Joe players are quick to understand that was early in the season, this is sectionals & Jimtown is playing on its home court.
So what happens tonight? Tune in for the sectional opener at 7:30pm on Redeemer Radio 95.7FM.
#2 Marian has a target on them as they start sectionals.
They also know what it takes to make a deep playoff run as they played for the state title a year ago. They believe that experience & their challenging schedule this year will guide them this postseason.
It all starts at 6pm in the 3A Sectional Opener at Jimtown vs Clay. Listen on Redeemer Radio 95.7FM.
Jackson Price had some big pressure on him at the start of the year. Could he go from 6th man to starter & be the outside shooting threat that Richard Brooks was a year ago?
Yep and he’s a major reason Marian is 22-2 heading into sectionals.
Hear #2 Marian face Clay Tuesday at 6pm in the 3A sectional opener from Jimtown. on 95.7FM or redeemerradio.com. (A reminder no video stream from us for postseason games).
Before sectionals begin next week, #2 Marian gets one last big regular season clash Friday when they go on the road to #11 Tippy Valley.
Marian explains how a tough matchup like this helps them right before sectionals.
Michael Sheely missed a few days of practice and had to come off the bench Tuesday night but that didn’t stop him from being the difference maker in Plymouth’s 58-56 win over Saint Joseph.
He scored 14 points & was our Tony Letcher Health Markets Player of the Game.
