The Marion Center girls and the West Branch boys won District 6 Double-A championships last night at Mount Aloysius College.
Todd Marino recaps a great night of high school hoops. (MC beats Portage 58-44 for the girls title, West Branch defeats Northern Cambria, 58-38.)
Marion Center coach Amy Trimble, who played on the school’s back-to-back District 6 champions in 2010 and 2011, says this year’s team is a very special group of girls.
Trimble says everyone contributes for the Stingers.
