Coach Sam Pearson said his Marshall Academy basketball team simply didn’t play smart at times in the quarter-final round of the Class AA State Tournament.
Marshall Academy had lost to Columbus Christian by 12 and 17 points in the regular season but turned the tide come playoff time.
They say defense wins championships and the proof was in the pudding Saturday for the Marshall Academy Lady Patriots.
It’s state tournament time this week for both Holly Springs High School basketball teams.
The Potts Camp Cardinals moved on in the playoffs with a third-place finish in the District 1-2A Tournament at Mantachie.
