THE BULL
Marthon basketball goes hand in hand with conference basketball tournament. Saturday’s Southern Nebraska Conference tournament at Centennial High School proved to be perhaps the longest of long tournament days in my tenure with the Clay County News.
I’ve been through several long days of basketball over the course of my newspaper career, but Saturday felt like basketball overload, watching 20 quarters of basketball in one day. All of the games were back-to-back, with Sutton’s girls and boys starting off the day, while in the end, Sandy Creek’s girls and boys battled for SNC team gold in championship games, which according to Sandy Creek coaches, this year’s tournament was the first time that both the Cougar girls and boys appeared in the conference championship games in the same season since 2002!...24 years ago.
