(Marion) – The Marion boys basketball team was 2.3 seconds away from avenging a lopsided December loss to the fifth-ranked team in the state Tuesday night, but San Antonio-Cole’s Silas Livingston took an inbounds pass in the backcourt, dribbled and hopped across the midcourt stripe, and burried a desperation three from 40 feet out as time expired to give the Cougars a 63-61 win on the Bulldogs’ home court.
The gut-wrenching loss drops Marion to 6-3 in District 26-3A, 16-3 overall, while Cole remains alone in first place with a 9-0 district mark and a 15-5 season record.
