"They are wellcoached and disciplined and have a lot of quickness. "Our kids could have quit, but they didn't. Under the circ*mstances played very well. We just haven't seen that kind of defense before. If you take out the first quarter, it was a pretty even game." Marianna was led by Ellis' 14 points and Marvin Harvey's 13.
