 Last Saturday night, Marion fell behind early and could never get over the hump in dropping a 56-47 decision to Fort Wayne Dwenger to fall to 2-4. The Giants were led in scoring by Jalen Blackmon with 24 points.  Marion will next play 4A #3 ranked undefeated Valparaiso during the Marion Boys Basketball Classic on Friday.

It was in regards to Mason Gillis of New Castle and his injuries plus possibly a bigger lean towards baseball .

Everyone locally says he’s the best of the Blackmons. Ratings don’t support that yet but time will tell.

Luers is where James played most of his HS career and Dad coached. Probably a big game for the family.
