@kwmcmaho There are indeed places in Indiana where high school basketbal is alive and well. However, when considering high school basketball across the state, it is indeed dead. WHen I was a kid, the whole state paid attention to the basketball tournament regardless of who was still alive. Today, only the teams left really care. Class basketball is a joke. Under the old single class system, it was more impressive to win your regional than win a class championship.
@kwmcmaho Nobody will ever make me believe that what the class A champion in 2011 did is equal to what PLymouth did in 1982, Milan in the 50's, Connersville in 1983 or even Argos making the final four. Being a small school making the sweet 16 was more impressive back in the day than a small school winning their class tournament today. How dare these small schools today call themselves a state champion when their class tournament excludes 75% of the states schools.
Are you kidding? NC wasn't that good last year. Marion beat them TWICE! If they were so good, how come they couldn't beat the Giants? The only time you can win state is when your lousy team is in 3A.
way to choke at state Marion ! what happend couldnt take your refs with you? hows it feel to choke on the biggest stage in the state?
Mays traveled all the way down the floor/you guys beat a poor overrated riley team! NC and Stigall would have plowed Riley and Brownsburg! Nc had Marion beat on their home court until the refs stepped up! Face it if the refs would have let Nc win that game theyre would have been a riot after the game led by the biggest loser in the building and murderer Randolph
Being a MHS alum we have beaten most of the best..3 straight titles in 85-87 and only lost 4 games in that span.Fuck Munice Central and their 8 titles,we'll take our 7 and back to back 75-76 and three in a row in 85-87.
Nothing like packing 7,500 high school fans in Bill Green Arena and having a blast.GO GIANTS!
DAMN!theres alot of people hating on MHS and Julius! 2 bad new albany wasnt dere 2 play huh? haha! and if it wasnt for dem Cheating Saturday night! we Wouldve won dat 2! yall need 2 get a life! and go watch yall schools play online and stop worrying about MHS! If were so overrated den why did we make it 2 state and yall didnt?? hahah DUMBASS!
julius mays is freaking tight, and so is javon freshwater, hes so quick and an awesome ball handler. i saw marion play last saturday at lafayette jeff, and they looked unstoppable!!! Go Giants, win state!!!!!!
Who cares what happen to NC. If you win Simi State. New Albany will smash that ass like they did at the Hall of Fame Classic, where we brought more fans than you all driving 4 time further than you all did. You all have been overrated all year.
Simi State? What the heck is that? The Giants are playing in the Semi-State tomorrow. And you smashed them? I seem to recall a game that was close the entire time, and ended up with only a 5 point win by NA. That's hardly smashing someone. By the way, I wouldn't overlook Brownsburg, they are very good. Oh and on a final note.....
Hey, good work at Southport today, I enjoyed watching the game! You guys really are number 1.. As for Marion; to say you are better than Marion, because you beat them when they played their worst game of the year is maybe the stupid comment I have ever read. New Albany and Marion should never be mentioned in the same sentence, it's an insult to the history of the Marion Giants. Army beats Notre Dame once in a blue moon, to say they are at the same level is a joke. (TBC)
Part 2 : I Hope you made it home all right, and be sure to tune into the game this Saturday when Marion plays for their 8th State title. As for overrated, dude look at your schedule, are you kidding? Floyds knob, wtf?? PPPLLLEEAAASSSEEEE......... Better luck next year. P.S. Watch the video again, and notice all thebanners on the wall, if you think there are a lot you should see the other walls in the gym.... GO MARION
overrated is losing to brownsburg!!! ...lol you sad little turd .. make sure youre in the bill green arena next year for the unveiling of our 8th championship banner! war giants!
I will have to say that was a very exciting game. I thought the refs were decent that night. yeah, they missed a few calls, but oh well.
Let me tell you this. The crazy guy in the white tshirt waving and flipping his arms is my 65 year old grandpa! He is to the left, you will see him after the buzzer goes off. He is a hoot!
I just want to say GOOD LUCK GIANTS in tomorrow nights game!
julius didnt travel jamin (who seems to find anything on this game n complain) we arent thugs...n try to grow up a little bit...because with students giving inappropiate gestures n adults flippin off n cursing at the marion players after the game is ridiculous. we wouldnt do that if NC won. enjoy the off season. julius mays is a great person i might know growning up around his big-head self lol jp ju
hey i grew up in marion, but now i live in lafayette, and i go to central catholic, the team playing right before you guys, so go CC. Don't worry im staying to watch you guys too. Marion high school is tight, and best of luck to you. Go Giants and Knights!
thugs?? these guys are good guys..vaughn what are you talking about?? think before you talk buddy..but riley is tough in semistate..we'll see about state champs guys!!
Awesome video!! Go Giants!! Mr. Vaughn - get a life! Maybe try expressing the pride you should be showing for your team instead of such hatred towards people you don't even know. I personally know these kids and none of them are thugs! I am proud of you Giants!! See you at semi-state!!
can anyone say TRAVEL?TOO bad that The trojans had this game won and the refs gave the game to marion.I would be so proud to live in Marion and be a thug
I love it when M-Club chants at the end "Can I get a whoop-whoop? Heeeeey, GIANTS IN THE HOUSE!"

Stick to 3A son. That's all New Castle is good for! Marion beat NC at the Fieldhouse this year too, so how do you explain that?

So basically you're bitter because the Giants own the Trojans?

Not buying it. You took the time to search for a Marion video, watched it, and then commented on it.

Hmm, so you're not envious yet you took the time to watch a Marion video and then comment on it. I'm not buying it. Get lost.
