The Marianna Bulldogs improved to 4-0 on the season with a couple of wins last week. On Thursday night they downed county rival Graceville by a score of 82-56. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead as they led 28-13 at the end of the first quarter. They led by 16 points at the half and increased that lead to 62-45 by the end of the third quarter. Marianna placed five players in double figures as they were led on the night by Nehemiah Gilbert with 17 points. Tre Long and Tommy Stephens added 12 points each and R.J. Bowers and Kendall Leeks pumped in 10 points each.
The Bulldogs followed that win with another win on Friday night as they beat Rutherford 62-49. This game was much closer in the first half as the Bulldogs trailed 23-20 at the intermission. But the third quarter proved to be the difference in the game as Marianna exploded for 25 third quarter points and led 45-37 going into the final quarter. Kruize Pinkins had the hot hand as he knocked down 20 points and was followed by Long with 13 points.
Marianna traveled to Bainbridge on Tuesday night for a contest with the Bearcats. Results of that game were not available at press time. Marianna will be on the road Friday at Walton and then return home on Saturday for a rematch with Rutherford.
