MARQUETTE 53, CARROLLTON 40: While Marquette came away with a 53-40 win with solid play, there was no doubt that the Carrollton Hawks came to play and provided the Explorers a very competitive boys basketball game Thursday night at Marquette Catholic.

Carrollton played well enough to go into halftime only down 3 points but Marquette was able to create a little breathing room in the second half. The Explorers led 14-11, 27-24, and 35-28 after the first three quarters, outscoring the Hawks 18-12 in the final quarter.
