Talk about an unexpected match-up!
Headed into the final week of the regular season Marshall hosted Whitehouse in a game that could see Marshall finish as low as fifth in the district standings or as high as the #2 seed.
For them to be out of the playoffs....some strange things were going to have to happen.
Of course they did happen.
Not only did MP blow out Hallsville to keep their dim playoff hopes alive..... they needed Marshall to lose and PT to upset Texas High.
Well.... Pine Tree did just that.... they beat THS..... which put MP on the cusp of the #4 seed.
Marshall was down 28-24 late in their game Vs. Whitehouse.
Down to 2 seconds on the 2 yardline..... the Mavs took the victory in heart-stopping fashion. Eliminating MP....and slipping into the #2 seed.
How huge was that win? Besides playing at home for the playoffs.... they don't have to face previously unbeaten and #1 Melissa or #7 Lovejoy in the first round on the road.
Denison will come to town. A Denison team that's very talented and very dangerous.
Marshall's record won't win any beauty contests at (5-5). But three of their losses came from teams that were ranked in the top 5 of their classes.
Loss to #2 Longview- 5A Div I
Loss to #1 Carthage- 4A Div II
Loss to #4 Texas High- 5A Div II
Don't expect any tears from Denison. They had a murderer's row of their own.....
Loss to Frisco Reedy (9-1)
Loss to Lovejoy (9-1)
Loss to Melissa (9-1)
