Marceline’s Struggling Cagers Seek Grip in Stretch of Home Play
By PAUL STURMLCL Sports Editorpsturm@cherryroad.comDenied the chance last week to compete in their final planned regular-season tournament when the Milan Invitational was wiped away by the weather, Brookfield’s and Marceline’s high school basketball teams began different tasks this week when, among other outings, they squared off against each other on the MHS floor on Thursday.The BHS girls, 5-6, were trying to avoid continuing to spin their wheels and get back over .500 after dropping their last three contests before their enforced shutdown.The 4-7 Bulldogs, on the other hand, were looking to extend their pre-snowbreak surge which included back-to-back wins on either side of the calendar change.Both Brookfield squads visited Salisbury on Tuesday before visiting Marceline to complete the non-conference portions of their schedules.
