by Anthony Mazur Marcus girls basketball ended their last home game with an emotional win over McKinney Boyd last night. The Marauders were ahead in all quarters. At the end of the first, Marcus was up 16-4. At halftime, the lead increased to 25-8. The Lady Marauders kept pushing in the third for a 42-13 lead. At the end, the final score was 52-21. The last quarter was especially emotional with the crowd cheering for the four playing seniors, who were very emotional, as they subbed out one by one, some of whom for the last time. The seniors hugged their coaches, some crying, and high-fived their teammates. The four seniors on the court described their experience with the team, and what they will be doing down the road.
