Number three-ranked Kalamazoo Central beats Marshall, 69-53





The Marshall High School boys' varsity basketball team kept the game close in the first half Thursday against number three ranked Kalamazoo Central and trailed by two at the half. But, the Maroon Giants' defense forced several Redhawk turnovers at the start of the third quarter and opened up an 11-point lead. Marshall regained their composure and pulled to within six points late in the game, but ended up losing, 69-53, after the Giants hit several free throws down the stretch after the Redhawks resorted to fouling. This week, Marshall plays at Coldwater on Tuesday, Feb. 17 and will be home on Friday, Feb. 20 against Lakeview.
