Marshall beats Lakeview at buzzer, 52-50


The Marshall High School boys' varsity team remained unbeaten at 6-0 after senior center Matt Roberts hit a shot as time expired to give the Redhawks a 52-50 victory at Lakeview Friday night.
Following his shot, Roberts was greeted by teammates Bobby Feight, B.J. Konkle, No. 4 and Jake Fox, No. 44.
After holding a double digit lead for most of the contest, Marshall saw the Spartans comeback to tie the game, 50-50 after a Bobby Perry three-pointer.
Following a Marshall timeout with 2.4 seconds to play, junior guard Konkle hit Roberts with a pass in the lane and Roberts hit the shot off the glass as the buzzer sounded.
With  the victory, Marshall is alone at the top of the Southwest Michigan Athletic Conference's East Division with a 4-0 mark.
Lakeview fell to 3-1 in the division and 3-3 overall.
The Redhawks next play Saturday, Dec. 29 when they host Olivet.
