John Marshall 64,
Douglas Freeman 48
For the first 16 minutes, it looked as if Douglas Freeman, seeded No. 2 in the Colonial District tournament, might hold its own against top seed John Marshall, but the Justices’ defense put a chokehold on the Rebels’ offense in the third quarter, allowing John Marshall to coast to victory in the boys title game.
John Marshall knew it had to do something different to fend off Douglas Freeman.
“We know they shoot the ball extremely well,” said John Marshall coach Ty White. “We tried to make them drivers tonight versus shooters. They have the ability to knock down five, six in a row.”
As a result, Jimmy Marshall was the only Rebel who managed to score in double figures with a game-high 20 points.
“I thought John Marshall played very well,” said Douglas Freeman coach Larry Parpart, who was named coach of the year. “I thought they did a really good job defensively and I thought they were very disciplined offensively. They got the shots they wanted.”
The Justices were led by Gerard Dean with 19 points and Colonial District player of the year Brian White with 18.
