Marion Local Bolts To Big Lead, Holds Off St. Henry

Marion's height advantage lifted the Flyers to the D-IV district title with a 59-50 win ... but not before St. Henry's rally from a 28-10 deficit to briefly take the lead.

It had its wild and woolly moments, but another quality start by Isaiah Coupet, a huge hit in the sixth by Tyler Pettorini, and the issues of someone else's bullpen (for a change) helped the Buckeyes to an 8-3 win over Mississippi State.
