North Marshall’s 8th grade boys basketball team finished 15-2 in the regular season and 18-4 overall. They won the district championship over South Marshall and advanced to the Final Four of the state middle school tournament held in Wilder, Ky. the first weekend in March.

Like all levels of athletics across the state, the NMMS team’s season looked different than any other with a late start, a season stopped and started and all the COVID-19 protocols to adhere to.

The team is under the direction of Head Coach Blake Cary and Assistant Coaches Jeff Jones and Keith Poole.

Congratulations NMMS 8th grade boys on your season!
