MORAN — A good year for Marmaton Valley’s boys basketball team keeps getting better. The Wildcats dominated Hartford Tuesday night, winning 60-29, sending the seniors out with a win in their last home game.
The Wildcats jumped out to a quick 30-12 lead at the half, fueled by a 21-point second quarter. Quincy Adams had seven points in that massive second to help Marmaton Valley pull away from the Jaguars.
After the half, it was still all Wildcats. The Marmaton Valley defense shutdown Hartford’s offensive scheme and continued surging on offense. This time, fueled by Dylan Drake’s five-point third quarter. Nine Wildcats scored in the affair, showcasing different offensive looks from Marmaton Valley and the ability to spread the ball around.
On the flip side, Marmaton Valley’s defense held the Jaguars without a double-digit quarter.
“Tonight was our most complete performance we have had all season,” said Marmaton Valley head coach Gavin Cole. “It was a great way to send off our four seniors who were playing their last game at home. I greatly appreciate their contributions to our program. They are all great young men who have really bright futures.”
