High School Hoops Update

By Clint Cox
Area high school basketball squads took to the floor this past Tuesday night for some summer time hoops action. In game one Marianna downed Graceville by a score of 49-36. In game two Port St. Joe got the best of Cottondale by a score of 58-45. The most exciting game of the evening was game three in which Marianna edged Cottondale 38-37. The game was tip and tuck for the entire contest but Marianna’s Tre Jackson got the Bulldogs a four point lead late in the game. But Cottondale battled back with buckets from Marcus Humose and Drew Bellamy to tie the game at 33-33 with just over a minute to play. Jackson nailed a three pointer to give Marianna a 36-33 lead but Dominique Webb pulled the Hornets to within one point, 36-35, with a basket with 19 seconds to play. Humose made it a 36-35 game for the Hornets but Jackson countered with a late basket to give Marianna a 38-37 win. The final game of the night saw Port St. Joe take a bit out of the Tigers of Graceville in a 81-45 win for the Tiger Sharks.
